Installation of NGL3
1. Download NGL3 from this link. If you have already downloaded this file in the Download page, skip this step. 2. This will download a file InstallNGL3.0.zip. Extract this file, for this example we have extracted the zip file into D: Drive. In D: Drive you will now see a directory name "InstallNGL3.0". The contents of this directory.

3. Now go into D:/InstallNGL3.0/apache-ant-1.8.1/bin directory. In this directory you will find a file config.ini. open this file using Wordpad or Notepad. Edit the parameters as explained below. installation.directory=C:/NGL302 This means that the NGL installation will be made in the directory C:/NGL302. you may give choose any other directory as you wish. But for this example we will choose this directory. ServerIPAddress=localhost The IPAddress of the computer which is running Postgresql database. By default leave it as localhost. It means that Postgresql database server is running on this system itself. DatabasePort=5432 The Port on which your Postgresql Server is running. In most of the cases this port number is 5432. DefaultDatabase=postgres Do not edit this parameter. Postgresql 8.3 installation creates a default database called postgres DatabaseUserName=postgres Default database user is postgres. So do not edit this value. DatabasePassword=newgenlib The password you entered for postgres. In our installation manual we asked to give the password as newgenlib. source.location=D:/InstallNGL3.0 This is the location which has NGL3.0 Installation files. Refer to Point 2. root.drive=C: If you are using windows leave this parameter as it is.

restore.database=blank If you want to restore a blank NGL schema the above value is blank. If you want to restore a NGL backup(with data) instead of a blank schema then put the backup file in D:/InstallNGL3.0/DBBackup directory. Instead of blank use original. Your parameter will look like this restore.database=original NewGenLib.Database=newgenlib Do not edit this parameter. If you want the database name to be something else you may change it here. NewGenLib.Database.UserName=newgenlib Do not edit this parameter. A new user with this name will be created NewGenLib.Database.Password=newgenlib Do not edit this parameter. The user will be created with this password. Save the changes made to config.ini 4. Go to D:/InstallNGL3.0 and Double click on Install batch file. This will Open command prompt and execute the scripts as shown below

5. Go to C:/NGL302 apache-tomcat-6.0.32/bin directory. You can see a file RunNGL3Server batch file.

This batch file when executed will run the apache-tomcat Server with NGL Application. Since you have use this batch file frequently let us create a shortcut of this file on the desktop. Right click on RunNGL3Server and Send to ---> Desktop (Create Shortcut) as shown below.

A shortcut will be created on your desktop as shown below.

6. Double click on the Shortcut to start NGL Server. The NGL Server (apache-tomcat) will start. It will take some time to initialize. Finally you will get a message as shown below. The time taken for server to initialize will change system to system.

3. Now the Installation is running, we will now have to create a Solr Index of Bibliographic and Authority data. Please note that unless you execute this step you will not be able to make searches. Go D:/InstallNGL3.0 directory you will find a file BuildIndex batch file. Double click on this file. This will create Bibliographic and Authority data Index.
