IMPORTANT NOTE These instructions will create an installation of a QA version of Archivematica and is not recommended for production use yet.

Quick install using Vagrant

This method will have you up and running in no time, using a virtual machine provisioned with vagrant.

First, clone the am-packbuild repo:

git clone https://github.com/artefactual-labs/am-packbuild/

cd into the rpm-testing directory
```
cd am-packbuild/rpm-testing/
```
run vagrant
```
vagrant up
```

After the install, the Archivematica Dashboard will be avaliable on port 81 of the vagrant deployed box, and the Storage Service, in port 8001.

You can log in the vm over ssh running vagrant ssh

Step by step Install

Prerequisites

Extra repos

Some repositories need to be installed in order to fullfill the installation procedure:

Extra packages for enterprise linux
```
yum install -y epel-release
```

Elasticsearch

sudo -u root rpm --import https://packages.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch
sudo -u root bash -c 'cat << EOF > /etc/yum.repos.d/elasticsearch.repo
[elasticsearch-1.7]
name=Elasticsearch repository for 1.7 packages
baseurl=https://packages.elastic.co/elasticsearch/1.7/centos
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://packages.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch
enabled=1
EOF'

Archivematica

sudo -u root bash -c 'cat << EOF > /etc/yum.repos.d/archivematica.repo
[archivematica]
name=archivematica
baseurl=https://packages.archivematica.org/1.5.x/centos
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1
EOF'

Service depencencies.

Common services like elasticsearch, mariadb and gearmand should be installed and enabled before the archivematica install. It can be done with:

sudo -u root yum install -y java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless elasticsearch mariadb-server gearmand
sudo -u root systemctl enable elasticsearch
sudo -u root systemctl start elasticsearch
sudo -u root systemctl enable mariadb
sudo -u root systemctl start mariadb
sudo -u root systemctl enable gearmand
sudo -u root systemctl start gearmand

Installing Archivematica Storage Service

First, we install the packages:

sudo -u root yum install -y python-pip archivematica-storage-service

After the package is installed, we need to populate the sqlite database, and collect some static files used by django. Those tasks must be run as “archivematica” user.

sudo -u archivematica bash -c " \
set -a -e -x
source /etc/sysconfig/archivematica-storage-service
cd /usr/share/archivematica/storage-service
/usr/lib/python2.7/archivematica/storage-service/bin/python manage.py migrate
/usr/lib/python2.7/archivematica/storage-service/bin/python manage.py collectstatic --noinput
";

And now, we enable and start the archivematica-storage-service and it’s nginx frontend

sudo -u root systemctl enable archivematica-storage-service
sudo -u root systemctl start archivematica-storage-service
sudo -u root systemctl enable nginx
sudo -u root systemctl start nginx

The storage service will be avaliable at http://<ip>:8001

Installing Archivematica Dashboard and MCP Server

First, install the pacakges:

sudo -u root yum install -y archivematica-common archivematica-mcp-server archivematica-dashboard

Create and populate the mysql database with:

sudo -H -u root mysql -hlocalhost -uroot -e "DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS MCP; CREATE DATABASE MCP CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;"
sudo -H -u root mysql -hlocalhost -uroot -e "CREATE USER 'archivematica'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'demo';"
sudo -H -u root mysql -hlocalhost -uroot -e "GRANT ALL ON MCP.* TO 'archivematica'@'localhost';"

And as archivematica user, run migrations:

sudo -u archivematica bash -c " \
set -a -e -x
source /etc/sysconfig/archivematica-dashboard
cd /usr/share/archivematica/dashboard
/usr/lib/python2.7/archivematica/dashboard/bin/python manage.py syncdb --noinput
";

Start and enable services:

sudo -u root systemctl enable archivematica-mcp-server
sudo -u root systemctl start archivematica-mcp-server
sudo -u root systemctl enable archivematica-dashboard
sudo -u root systemctl start archivematica-dashboard

Reload nginx in order to load the dashboard config file:
sudo -u root systemctl reload nginx

The dashboard will be avaliable at http://ip:81

Installing Archivematica MCP Client

First, we need to add some extra repos with the MCP Client dependencies:

Archivematica supplied external packages:

sudo -u root bash -c 'cat << EOF > /etc/yum.repos.d/archivematica-extras.repo
[archivematica-extras]
name=archivematica-extras
baseurl=https://packages.archivematica.org/1.5.x/centos-extras
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1
EOF'

Nux multimedia repo

rpm -Uvh https://li.nux.ro/download/nux/dextop/el7/x86_64/nux-dextop-release-0-5.el7.nux.noarch.rpm

Forensic tools repo

rpm -Uvh https://forensics.cert.org/cert-forensics-tools-release-el7.rpm

Then, install the package:

sudo -u root yum install -y archivematica-mcp-client

The MCP Client expect some programs in certain paths, so we put things in place:

sudo cp /usr/bin/clamscan /usr/bin/clamdscan
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/7za /usr/bin/7z

After that, we can enable and start services

sudo -u root systemctl enable archivematica-mcp-client
sudo -u root systemctl start archivematica-mcp-client
sudo -u root systemctl enable fits-nailgun
sudo -u root systemctl start fits-nailgun

Configuration

Each service have a configuration file in /etc/sysconfig/archivematica-packagename

Known bugs / Caveats

If IPv6 is disabled, Nginx may refuse to start. If that is the case make sure that the listen directives used under /etc/nginx are not using IPv6 addresses like [::]:80.
