Installation:

If this is a new installation, please see our Installation Guide.

Upgrade:

If you are upgrading from v4.x, you must upgrade to each intermediate version before installing this version. When upgrading from the previous version, you will need to do the following:

  1. Undeploy the previous version.
    • /glassfish4/bin/asadmin list-applications
    • /glassfish4/bin/asadmin undeploy dataverse.war
  2. Deploy this version.
    • /glassfish4/bin/asadmin deploy /dataverse-4.3.1.war
  3. Restart glassfish.
    • service glassfish stop
    • service glassfish start
  4. Replace the Solr schema.xml file
    • stop solr
    • replace schema.xml
    • start solr
  5. Run the incremental index to correct the targeting for citation links.

If you are upgrading from v3.x, you will need to perform a migration to v4.x since our application was redesigned and the database schema are completely different. This is a significant undertaking. Please contact us (support at dataverse.org) before beginning. Also refer to our migration google group for additional support and information: https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/dataverse-migration-wg

Please note: v4.x does not currently support creating new handles though it will support existing ones. We intend to add this feature but have not yet scheduled this work.
