Instructions for VIVO developers
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are working from the VIVO distribution files, you should follow the
instructions in "install.txt", in this directory.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are working from the VIVO source files, checked out from the Subversion
repository, then your working area does not contain the "vitro-core" directory.
Follow these steps:
1) In the VIVO working area, create deploy.properties as a copy of
example.deploy.properties
2) Check out the Vitro source files from Subversion into a separate working
area.
3) Modify deploy.properties (created in step 1) so vitro.core.dir points to
the Vitro working area (created in step 2). For example:
vitro.core.dir = ../vitro
4) Follow the instructions in "install.txt" to complete the installation.
