Evergreen is an open-source Integrated Library System (ILS) used to manage library resources like books, journals, and audio/video materials. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Evergreen on Linux Mint latest version.
Before starting the installation process, you need to have the following prerequisites:
First of all, you need to update your system packages to the latest version. Open the terminal window and run the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
The upgrade process will depend on the size of the updated packages.
To install Evergreen from its official repository, you need to add its repository to the system. Run the following command:
echo 'deb https://download.evergreen-ils.org/ubuntu/latest/ xenial main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/evergreen.list
After adding the repository, update the system packages again using the same command as in Step 1.
To install Evergreen, run the following command in the terminal window:
sudo apt-get install evergreen
This command will install all the required packages and dependencies for Evergreen.
At this point, Evergreen is installed on your system. You can check if the installation is successful by checking the status of the evergreen service using the following command:
sudo systemctl status evergreen
The output of the command will show you the status of the evergreen service. If everything is working correctly, you should see a message indicating that the evergreen service is running.
To access the Evergreen web interface, open your preferred web browser and enter the following URL: http://localhost:8080
If you are installing Evergreen on a remote server, replace localhost with the server IP address.
You will be directed to the Evergreen login page where you can log in using your Evergreen admin credentials.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Evergreen on Linux Mint latest version. Once the installation is complete, you can start using Evergreen to manage your library resources efficiently.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
