Installing Eprints via apt-get

apt-get update
apt-get install eprints

Setting up a Repository

You should now have a working installation of eprints in /usr/share/eprints3/. Please follow the on-screen instructions to set up an eprints repository. You probably want to start with (as root):

su eprints
cd
./bin/epadmin create
logout
a2ensite eprints3
apache2ctl restart

Getting and Compiling from Source (not required)

apt-get update
apt-get build-dep eprints
apt-get source eprints

The source will be saved to a tarball in the current directory.
