2. Installing LOCKSS

This chapter describes how to install LOCKSS 2.0.90-beta2 NOT YET RELEASED (the latest version of LOCKSS 2.0-beta2 NOT YET RELEASED) from scratch. Please note:

• If you are upgrading an existing LOCKSS 2.0 installation to LOCKSS 2.0.90-beta2 NOT YET RELEASED, follow the instructions in Upgrading LOCKSS instead.

• If you are upgrading an existing LOCKSS 1.x installation to LOCKSS 2.0-beta2 NOT YET RELEASED, follow the instructions in LOCKSS 1.x to 2.x Migration Guide instead. A portion of those instructions will bring you to this chapter.

Tip

Before you begin the installation process, we recommend you first bring your operating system up to date by applying security updates and upgrading installed packages. Ask your system administrator or see Operating System Updates in the appendix.
