LogLevel=<priority>

[CouchDb]
Url=<URL to CouchDB instance, including trailing forward-slash>

SyncQAViews=<True or False; consider False on production>
; Recommended LogLevel is INFO for production; defaults to INFO if not set

Merge the akara.conf.template and akara.ini file to create the akara.conf file;

$ python setup.py install 

Set up and start the Akara server;

$ akara -f akara.conf setup
$ akara -f akara.conf start

Build the database views;

$ python scripts/sync_couch_views.py dpla
$ python scripts/sync_couch_views.py dashboard
$ python scripts/sync_couch_views.py bulk_download

Testing the ingestion server:

You can test it with this set description from Clemson;

$ curl "http://localhost:8889/oai.listrecords.json?endpoint=http://repository.clemson.edu/cgi-bin/oai.exe&oaiset=jfb&limit=10" 

If you have the endpoint URL but not a set id, there's a separate service for listing the sets;

$ curl "http://localhost:8889/oai.listsets.json?endpoint=http://repository.clemson.edu/cgi-bin/oai.exe&limit=10"

To run the ingest process run the setup.py script, if not done so already, initialize the database and database views, then feed it a source profile (found in the profiles directory);

$ python setup.py install
$ python scripts/sync_couch_views.py dpla
$ python scripts/sync_couch_views.py dashboard
$ python scripts/ingest_provider.py profiles/clemson.pjs
