Central shared bookstore (Local Sharedresources): Installation Guide

Introduction

The central library is installed in the “/local” directory of the Moodle distribution.

Its logical installation will at some point require you to choose and define the main metadata scheme used on the site. This is done during the initialization of the installation parameters.

This procedure can in some cases disrupt a “complete” installation of Moodle. It is therefore advisable, the time that we can redefine this procedure, to deploy a libraries on a Moodle site already installed.

Installation

Unzip the archive in the /local directory of your Moodle installation.

Make sure you have also prepared the installation of the Sharedresource modules, the Sharedresources and the Sharedresources] repossting.

Navigate to the site administration notifications.
