			== Configure office conversions ==
			Depending what distribution of linux you are using you will find that open office installs in different places. You may need to edit <code>cfg/cfg.d/office_conversions.pl</code> so that <code>$c->{office_path}</code> points to you open office install.

			== Symlink CGI scripts ==

			ln -s /opt/eprints3/archives/ARCHIVEID/cgi/get_preview_plus /opt/eprints3/cgi/

			== Setting up cron ==
			You will probably want to run the /opt/eprints3/archives/ARCHIVEID/bin/generate_video_previews and /opt/eprints3/archives/ARCHIVEID/bin/generate_audio_previews nightly. The easiest way to do this is to add them to the eprints users contab.

			Currently there is no mechanism to stop these scripts snowballing so make sure you leave long enough in the crontab for one job to finish before the next starts.
