Downloads

Instructions for installing an Evergreen server are available on the wiki.

Binaries

Staff Client

Windows

The Evergreen staff client (release 1.2.3.0) for Windows is available for download at:
http://www.open-ils.org/downloads/evergreen-setup-rel_1_2_3_0.exe. The previous release (1.2.2.3) for Windows is still available.

Macintosh, Linux

A Mac release of the staff client has been contributed by members of the Evergreen community and is mostly untested. Instructions can be found on the Wiki here. A packaged release for Linux is not available, but you can build from source using the instructions here.

Demo.gapines.org

For demonstration purposes, you may use demo.gapines.org as the server for the staff client. Every PINES library has two sample demo users set up. There is a complete listing of sample users here. The default password for all of these is demo123, though we don't automatically reset passwords for the demo, and some may have been changed. Feel free to use any of these to log into the system.

OpenSRF Source Code

Release Tarballs

Current Stable

• OpenSRF Release 0.9 (md5)
  This is the first release of OpenSRF that is not embedded in an Evergreen release. It gained its freedom in July, 2006, and will henceforth have a release schedule and versioning scheme all its own. Each Evergreen release will note the minimum required version of OpenSRF, though after 1.0 we don't expect huge changes in the required version, especially within minor releases of both (in fact, we don't expect them for pre-1.0 either -- API compatibility and stability is a top concern for OpenSRF).

There is a Trac instance sitting atop the Subversion repositories for Evergreen and OpenSRF, both of which you can find at svn.open-ils.org.

There are two public mailing lists to which Trac sends code commits:

• To receive Evergreen commits, you may subscribe to open-ils-commits
• To receive OpenSRF commits, you may subscribe to opensrf-commits
