Merge the akara.conf.template and akara.ini file to create the akara.conf file;
$ python setup.py install
Set up and start the Akara server;
$ akara -f akara.conf setup
$ akara -f akara.conf start
Build the database views;
$ python scripts/sync_couch_views.py dpla
$ python scripts/sync_couch_views.py dashboard
$ python scripts/sync_couch_views.py bulk_download
Testing the ingestion server:
You can test it with this set description from Clemson;
$ curl "http://localhost:8889/oai.listrecords.json?endpoint=http://repository.clemson.edu/cgi-bin/oai.exe&oaiset=jfb&limit=10"
If you have the endpoint URL but not a set id, there's a separate service for listing the sets;
$ curl "http://localhost:8889/oai.listsets.json?endpoint=http://repository.clemson.edu/cgi-bin/oai.exe&limit=10"
To run the ingest process run the setup.py script, if not done so already, initialize the database and database views, then feed it a source profile (found in the profiles directory);
$ python setup.py install
$ python scripts/sync_couch_views.py dpla
$ python scripts/sync_couch_views.py dashboard
$ python scripts/ingest_provider.py profiles/clemson.pjs
