Archivematica is a free and open-source digital preservation system that uses a microservices approach to ensure the long-term preservation and accessibility of digital assets. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Archivematica on Manjaro.
Before installing Archivematica, we need to install some dependencies. Open the terminal and update the package database by running the following command:
sudo pacman -Syy
Then, install the dependencies by running the following command:
sudo pacman -S git curl wget python-pip python-virtualenv xorg-xauth libxml2 libxslt postgresql postgresql-libs libpqxx yarn nodejs npm redis
Now, we can download and extract the Archivematica packages. First, download the latest release of Archivematica using the following command:
wget https://github.com/archivematica/archivematica/releases/download/v1.13.1/archivematica-installer-1.13.1-1stretch.sh
Note: You can change the version number in the above command to download the desired version.
Then, make the downloaded file executable by running the following command:
chmod +x archivematica-installer-1.13.1-1stretch.sh
Finally, extract the package by running the following command:
./archivematica-installer-1.13.1-1stretch.sh --debug
This will create a new directory called archivematica-1.13.1/ in your current working directory.
After extracting the package, navigate to the archivematica-1.13.1/ directory and run the following command to start the installation process:
sudo ./packages/runArchivematica.sh
The installation process will prompt you to enter a few details for PostgreSQL and Redis.
Once the installation is complete, you should be able to access the Archivematica web interface through a web browser at http://localhost:8080.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Archivematica on Manjaro!
