Automated installation using installers

You can download and execute installers for Windows 8, and 10 plus a DEB package and a console installer for Ubuntu, Debian, and its derivatives. An installer for Mac OS X is not available. These installers will install and/or configure Apache and PHP for you. If you don't want that, follow the instructions below to install manually.

Windows manual installation

  • A running Apache 2.4+ and PHP 7.2+ are required. Install them using a Windows installer like WAMP.
  • Edit Apache configuration file (httpd.conf). Append this at the end using Notepad and edit as needed:
AllowOverride All # Allow access from this computer. Require local # Allow access from intranet computers. Require ip 10 Require ip 172.16 172.17 172.18 172.19 172.20 Require ip 172.21 172.22 172.23 172.24 172.25 Require ip 172.26 172.27 172.28 172.29 172.30 172.31 Require ip 192.168 # Insert Allow from directives here to allow access from the internet. # "Require all granted" opens access to everybody. "> 
Alias /librarian "C:\I, Librarian\public"

   
    
    AllowOverride All
    # Allow access from this computer.
    Require local
    # Allow access from intranet computers.
    Require ip 10
    Require ip 172.16 172.17 172.18 172.19 172.20
    Require ip 172.21 172.22 172.23 172.24 172.25
    Require ip 172.26 172.27 172.28 172.29 172.30 172.31
    Require ip 192.168
    # Insert Allow from directives here to allow access from the internet.
    # "Require all granted" opens access to everybody.
  • You may wish to alter who has access (e.g. to allow access from more IP numbers or domain names) - see the Apache Authentication and Authorization HOWTO for details.
  • Restart the server.
  • Unzip I, Librarian distributable files into C:\I, Librarian.
  • You may change C:\I, Librarian to any directory where you want to have I, Librarian, including an external drive.
  • Now you can access your library in a browser at http://127.0.0.1/librarian
  • Optional. You can install LibreOffice and Tesseract OCR to enable importing Office files and OCR, respectively.

First use

  • Note on security: These installation instructions allow access to your library only from local computer or an internal network.
  • In order to start I, Librarian, open your web browser, and visit: http://127.0.0.1/librarian
  • Replace 127.0.0.1 with your static IP, or qualified server domain name, if you have either one.
  • Migrate your previous library, or create an account and head to Administrator > Software details to see if everything checks fine.
  • You should also check Administrator > Global settings to run I, Librarian the way you want.

Thank you for using I, Librarian!

Un-installation

  • If you used the DEB package, execute the uninstall.sh un-installer.
  • Otherwise un-install all programs that you installed solely to use I, Librarian.
  • These may include Apache, Nginx, and PHP - using package managers like Apt, Homebrew, or Macports will make this task easier. Note: You might have other programs using these. Only remove if sure.
  • Delete I, Librarian directory.

    500 Internal Server Error - Librarian\Security

    Hello, I build the l-Librarian docker image on raspberry pi - 4. Based on Dockerfile : https://github.com/Stybyk/docker_i-librarian/blob/master/Dockerfile

    The originally prebuilt image is running on my laptop testing VM, with no problem.

    Raspberry pi - image build log (https://github.com/Stybyk/docker_i-librarian/blob/master/install.log) looks good from my own analysis. The server´s app also looks running well, I am able to make users and upload the .pdf files, changing setup etc. But when I try to open some pdf, it get me in error: servereror

    Why it is happening only on that armhf build. ? Do I miss some Dependencies ? Or is it just one platform bug?
    Please can someone propose me a solution? What can be wrong?

  • PDF preview not shown when

    PDF preview not shown when "display items as icons" is selected

    Hello,

    Many thanks for this update to I-Librarian.

    I installed 5.1.0 and migrated my 4.10 library of 1000+ articles.

    When I go to Library and select "display items as icons" only the text "PDF preview" appears in the items instead of a real preview of the pdf. I attach a screenshot:

  • PDFs not displaying

    PDFs not displaying

    I have recently inherited an old i-librarian server that was running v2, i have since then migrated it to a ubuntu 20.04 box and upgraded it to 4.10 and its happy. When i try to upgrade to 5.5 however i run into issues.

    The database appears to migrate successfully and I ran the PDF extraction, which seems to also work (other than lots of Syntax Warning in the apache error log). I can view the various items in the library, however the PDF and Download buttons are greyed out. If i go into an item and select PDF->Open it fails horribly, i get the PDF app window, but then lots of 500 errors start appearing in the browser console log (see attached pic)

    Screen Shot 2020-10-03 at 11 11 21 PM

    Not sure what to do at this point or where this issue is coming from.

  • Error 500 - PASSWORD_ARGON2I not defined

    Error 500 - PASSWORD_ARGON2I not defined

    Hi,

    I decided to upgrade to version 5.1 - am using a Mac with nginx and php74-fpm (I could write up the process if you want), but then ran into another issue.

    According to the PHP documentation, PASSWORD_ARGON2I is only defined if PHP has been compiled with Argon2 support, which doesn't seem to be standard especially when one uses pre-built binaries (I am using macports). I didn't want to change the code and certainly not compile a custom version of PHP (which didn't seem right) so ... I finally tracked down a solution.

    Sodium defines this constant and has support for Argon2. So I installed the php74-sodium extension and things work. So it ought to be in the list of mentioned extensions to install or enable

  • Custom autogenerated bibtex id preserves commas (for example from title)

    Custom autogenerated bibtex id preserves commas (for example from title)

    The bibtex id default custom format includes the title (which is nice for referencing the right document later), but unfortunately, I had a title with a comma within the beginning, for example see the following random title Bla, this is a great title.

    Spaces are removed, but not the comma, see
    https://github.com/mkucej/i-librarian-free/blob/master/classes/media/scalarutils.php#L370

    The resulting bibtex then has something similar to @article{Author-2020-Bla,thisisagreattitle, So the comma from the title is end-of-line symbol in bibtex format and clashes with the comma at the end of the line. Somehow I could refer to it with Author-2020-Bla but this is misleading because the rest is missing in the cite reference.

    Maybe other symbols should not be present within the bibtex citation key, too? I did not find a clear solution on this unfortunately.

  • Annotations in PDFs

    Annotations in PDFs

    Just testing the new I, Librarian 5 and I imported a PDF with annotations and notes made in other software (Xodo PDF). I usually have good experience with these annotations across multiple software, however, in I, Librarian 5 the highlights render the colours as full fill, and not transparent. This means that whatever is highlighted in the PDF by other software, in I, Librarian the colours cover the text making them unreadable.

  • Can upload pdf files but can't read or download

    Can upload pdf files but can't read or download

    I did a clean install of i-Librarian free on a Ubuntu bionic system running php8.0 and Apache. I can access the web interface and upload pdf files but any further actions (read or download) gives a pop-up message "Info Provided number is out of valid range."

    I enabled error logging for php and apache but I don't get anything useful there. Perhaps this is an sqlite3 error? Any ideas on how to troubleshoot?

    installation problem

    Hi, when I install the .deb with dpkg -i then it will tells me that there are some packets missing (e.g. apache2). I installed them with apt-get -f install. But when I try to access the web GUI I get this error: "Can't locate required I, Librarian files. Please edit the paths.php file." But for me everything looks correct in the paths.php file.

  • In bibtex export, add an option to include i-librarian tags in the bibtex

    In bibtex export, add an option to include i-librarian tags in the bibtex "keywords" field

    This would be helpful in order to use the bibliographic database in other programs.

    In my case, i frequently export the whole database as a bibtex file and import it in Zotero, in order to easily use its "connectors" to Word/LibreOffice (in the rare cases i use these programs). Then I miss my tags there, to help organize the entries.

    It may seem that this feature would facilitate someone to go towards the "competition", however i believe that open source programs should foster interoperability and not pose barriers to the users. It will ultimately be a plus for I-Librarian.

  • Add API with Token for queries

    Add API with Token for queries

    Goal

    I would like to add all of my personal references to my webpage automatically.

    At the moment I do it like this:

    1. Perform a search of papers which belong to me in I Librarian
    2. export the result to a .bib file
    3. Copy the file to my webserver

    What I have tried

    The search can be performed with the same URL again, if one is logged in.

    If I try to pull the url via wget from my webserver, the problem is i can't use a simple POST request with cookie to log in due to the needed CSRF Token...

    Feature request

    Could you please add an authentication token which one could append to the query URL, so it would be easy to pull a .bib file via wget.

    This is the easiest way to create an API.

  • Integration with GROBID

    Integration with GROBID

    I recently came across GROBID [0] and it looks quite useful for what I want to do. I have not set it up yet, though, so no good idea how it and iLibrarian might be integrated. My rough idea right now is some sort of bridge using their client software/APIs. When I get a better sense of how they might be used together (or not), I will prototype the integration and update this enhancement issue.
