InvenioRDM is an open-source research data management software developed by CERN. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing InvenioRDM on Ubuntu Server latest.
It is always recommended to update the system before starting any installation. You can update Ubuntu by running the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
We need to install some required packages before installing InvenioRDM. Run the following command to install them:
sudo apt install -y python3 python3-dev python3-pip python3-venv build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev libjpeg-dev libpq-dev libsqlite3-dev git
Next, we will create a virtual environment to install InvenioRDM. Run the following command to create a virtual environment:
python3 -m venv myenv
This will create a virtual environment named myenv in the current directory.
Activate the virtual environment by running the following command:
source myenv/bin/activate
Clone the InvenioRDM repository by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/inveniosoftware/invenio-rdm.git
Change the directory to the InvenioRDM repository:
cd invenio-rdm
Install InvenioRDM and its dependencies by running the following command:
pip install -e .[all]
This command will install InvenioRDM and all of its optional dependencies.
Next, we need to initialize the database by running the following command:
invenio db init
Finally, start the development server by running the following command:
invenio run
Once the server is started, open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:5000 to access the InvenioRDM application.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed InvenioRDM on Ubuntu Server latest. You can now start using InvenioRDM to manage your research data.
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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
