Before you begin, make sure that you have the following:
The first step is to install some required packages. Open your terminal and execute the following command:

Islandora is a combination of multiple applications, and to run these applications, we need to install Docker and Docker Compose.

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.29.1/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
After the installation, give Docker-Compose execution permission by running the following command:
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Verify the installation by running the following command:
docker-compose --version
The next step is to clone the Islandora repository using Git. Run the following command to clone the repository:
