-===== Serving OAI Data using Greenstone=====+==== Downloading on the command line ====
  
-Greenstone comes with a built-in OAI data providercalled **oaiserver**. A configuration file provides options for the set up of the server. Collections can opt in or out of the server, and each collection will be advertised as an OAI set. Multiple collections can be grouped into a single OAI set using Greenstone's OAI super set mechanism.+You can also download OAI records on the command lineusing the perl script that GLI uses in the background: **downloadfrom.pl**. There is lots of information about command line downloading on [[en:user_advanced:command_line_download|downloading from the command line]] page.
  
-  * [[oai_server_gs3|Greenstone 3 OAI server setup and configuration]] +  * **Set up the Greenstone environment** in the terminal by running one of the following: 
-  * [[oai_server_gs2|Greenstone 2 OAI server setup and configuration]]+<code> 
 +source gs3-setup.sh (linux/MacOS, gs3) 
 +gs3-setup (Windows, gs3) 
 +source setup.bash (Linux/MacOS, gs2) 
 +setup (Windows, gs2) 
 +</code>
  
 +  * **To see the options available**, run:
  
-====Testing==== +<code> 
 +perl -S downloadinfo.pl OAIDownload 
 +</code>
  
-Once you have your OAI service in place, testing can be done via online validation facilities such as the following: http://www.openarchives.org/data/registerasprovider.html or http://re.cs.uct.ac.za/.+The options are the same as you can see in the GLI OAI download panel, listed above
  
-The former only verifies the Identify command, while extensive testing can be performed via the later one (called //Repository Explorer//).+  ***An example usage would be:** 
 +<code> 
 + perl -S downloadfrom.pl -mode OAI -url http://www.nzdl.org/cgi-bin/oaiserver.cgi -set demo -max_records 5 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +This will try to download 5 records from the set //demo// at the nzdl.org's OAI server. 
 + 
 +The records (and optionally documentswill be downloaded into the folder the script is run from. To change this, use the **-cache_dir full-path-to-folder** option.

-The Greenstone OAI server must be publically accessible over the Internet to use these validation tools.
