New installations

[Matheus Mumbala]

Good Day,

I'm the System Administrator at the National Archives of Namibia.
We are busy searching for an open source Archival system & i came accross this. 

I did read on it & the manuals on the AToM website is not really enough. 

I actually want to install it & start playing around. Anyone that has detail manuals or information regarding the installation of AToM.

Hi Matheus, 

Welcome to the AtoM community!

The Access to Memory website is linked to our documentation, which you can find here: 

• https://www.accesstomemory.org/docs/latest/
  

Please see the technical requirements here, and the detailed installation instructions here: 

• https://www.accesstomemory.org/docs/latest/admin-manual/installation/ubuntu/
  

If you are looking to test out the system, we have a publicly available demo site here: 

• https://demo.accesstomemory.org/
  

Credentials to log in are on the homepage. Please note: 

• The site is open to anyone - meaning once in a while, someone might change the homepage, or change the demo account password. However: 
• The site resets every hour, so these changes will always be undone. This means two things: 
• First, if you can't log in for some reason, try again in an hour. 
• Second, don't worry about messing things up, because it will all reset anyway, so feel free to test out everything!
• Note that some functionality - such as imports and uploads - is disabled for security purposes

If you would like a local instance to test on your personal computer (to test things such as imports and uploads, for example, or to be able to test for more than an hour at a time before everything resets), we do provide a Vagrant box, which allows you to create a virtual machine running a small test instance for local development and testing on a desktop or laptop. See: 

• https://www.accesstomemory.org/docs/latest/dev-manual/env/vagrant/
  
• There are more detailed instructions (particularly for Windows users) in the these slides: 
• https://www.slideshare.net/accesstomemory/atom-and-vagrant-installing-and-configuring-the-atom-vagrant-box-for-local-testing-and-development. 
• HOWEVER: these slides are also now 6 years old, which means a few of the PHP commands in the last section are out of date (e.g. commands to restart PHP-FPM, etc). You will find updated links and more information for all the commands mentioned via our Troubleshooting page in the sections on Restarting services, or Running common command-line tasks: 
• https://www.accesstomemory.org/docs/latest/admin-manual/maintenance/troubleshooting/
  

Please be aware that this instance is for local testing and development ONLY. AtoM is intended to be installed on a server for use in production, and the Vagrant box is not scaled or configured to act as a publicly accessible AtoM installation. 

Please let us know if you have further questions! 

Cheers,
