Requirements

The requirements are procedures that have to have been executed before the SciELO PC Programs installation.

Once the requirements are been complied with, there is no need to execute them again or every time SciELO PC Programs is installed/updated.

Checking the requirements

Checking the location and status of the serial folder

Only for the Collection Manager programs, which must be installed in the local server.

This server must have acces to the serial folder and this folder must be updated (title, section, issue etc) before executing the SciELO PC Programs installation.

Warning

Do not update serial folder contents after the SciELO PC Programs installation. Do it before the SciELO PC Programs installation.

Checking the Python + pip installation

  1. Always open a new terminal window to have a session with the configurations applied.

  2. Execute the command on the terminal:

    _images/installation_python_test.png
  3. Checking if the command presents the Python version. For instance:

    _images/installation_python_resultado.png

Note

As executing this command the Python version is not necessarily the same as the image

  1. If the result is not the expected, repeat the instructions to install Python and pip.

  2. Execute the command on the terminal:

    _images/installation_pip_test.png
  3. Checking if the command presents pip version. For instance:

    _images/installation_pip_resultado.png

Note

As executing this command the pip version is not necessarily the same as the image

  1. If the result is not the expected, repeat the instructions to install Python and pip.

Checking the Pillow installation

Pillow is requirement only for previous version of SciELO PC Programs 4.0.094.

Checking if it is properly installed, executing the commands on the terminal:

  1. Execute python:

    _images/installation_python.png
  2. The result is the presentation of Python terminal.

    _images/installation_python_terminal.png

Note

As executing this command the Python version is not necessarily the same as the image

  1. Execute * import PIL * (uppercase letters):

    _images/installation_import_pil.png
  2. Checking that the expected result is:

    _images/installation_import_pil_resultado.png

    But if the message is similar to:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
    ImportError: No module named PIL
    

    reinstall pillow.

  3. Execute exit() to exit from Python terminal

    _images/installation_python_exit.png
  4. Note you have exited the Python terminal

    _images/installation_python_exited.png

Checking the Java installation

  1. Execute on the terminal:

    java -version
    
  2. Checking if the result is similar to:

    _images/howtoinstall_path_conferir-java.jpg

    Note

    As executing this command the java version is not necessarily the same as the image

    If the message is similar to: java is not a recognized command …, repeat the instructions to install Java.
