Fedora Commons Repository is a software platform used for managing, preserving, and sharing digital content. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Fedora Commons Repository on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before we begin, please ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
Fedora Commons Repository requires Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to run. Let's install OpenJDK 8, which is the version officially supported by Fedora Commons:
sudo zypper install java-1_8_0-openjdk
Navigate to the Fedora Commons Repository Home page and download the latest version of the repository software. For this tutorial, we will use version 4.7.5:
wget https://github.com/fcrepo4/fcrepo4/releases/download/fcrepo-4.7.5/fcrepo-webapp-4.7.5.war
Copy the downloaded WAR file to the Tomcat webapps directory:
sudo cp fcrepo-webapp-4.7.5.war /usr/share/tomcat/webapps/fcrepo.war
Rename the WAR file to fcrepo.war to match the context path of the repository.
Restart the Tomcat server to deploy the repository:
sudo systemctl restart tomcat
Fedora Commons Repository should now be running on your OpenSUSE Latest system. You can test the installation by accessing the repository web interface at http://localhost:8080/fcrepo. If you are accessing the interface from another machine, replace localhost with the IP address or hostname of the OpenSUSE Latest system.
