-====== Basic Installation ======
-//**Part of the [[en:beginner:index|Greenstone Beginner's Guide]]**// \\
-===== Obtaining Greenstone =====
-The main Greenstone downloads (Greenstone 2 and 3) are available on the [[http://www.greenstone.org/download| Greenstone download page]],
-under //Latest Greenstone3 Distribution// or  //Latest Greenstone2 Distribution//. Click the link for your operating system, and, when prompted, save the file.
-===== Installation =====
- Upon downloading the installer, run the executable: On Windows and Mac you need to double-click
-it to launch the installation dialog, on Linux you first need to set the downloaded executable's
-permissions to executable before you can run it from the terminal.
- It may take some time for the Greenstone installation dialog to appear.
-Once the installation dialog displays, you generally need to keep pressing the Next button until
-it is finished.
- **Note:** When the installer asks for the location to install Greenstone in, make sure to choose
-a location on your file system for which you have access privileges. If you are using Windows Vista/7,
-we recommend you **do not install Greenstone in Program Files**, as the default file permissions for
-this folder can cause issues when you attempt to run Greenstone. We recommend your 'User' directory or
-your Documents folder as the installation destination, instead. This way Greenstone will be able to
-run without any extra steps.
- If you do want to install Greenstone into Program Files on Windows Vista or 7 (and you have
-administrator permissions on your computer), you can run
-the installer with administrator permissions by right clicking on the
- installer and choosing "Run as administrator".
- For more information on installation options, including downloading and compiling source code from source distributions or Subversion (SVN),  see the [[en:user_advanced:installation|Advanced Installation]] page.
-===== Greenstone Suite =====
-The basic Greenstone installation includes a suite of software. In Windows, you will find the following in //Start -> All Programs -> Greenstone//.
-<tabbox Greenstone3>
-=== Greenstone Librarian Interface (GLI) ===
-The Greenstone Librarian Interface, or GLI, is a graphical tool for building new collections,
-altering or deleting existing collections, and exporting existing collections to stand-alone CD-ROMs.
-For the average user, the GLI is where you will create and modify all of your Greenstone collections,
-and is the focus of the Beginner's Guide.
-=== Greenstone Server ===
-The [[en:user:greenstone_server|Greenstone Server]] is how you "start up" your library for viewing in the browser. The server
-begins automatically when you enter the GLI. Because the server should work sufficiently 'out-of-the-box',
-it is not covered in-depth in the Beginner's Guide.
-=== Greenstone Editor for Metadata Sets (GEMS) ===
-[[en:user:metadata_sets#greenstone_editor_for_metadata_sets_gems|GEMS (Greenstone Editor for Metadata Sets)]] can be used to modify existing metadata
-sets or create new ones. GEMS can either be launched from the **Enrich** panel in the Librarian Interface
-or from outside the Librarian Interface (in Windows by going to //Start -> Programs -> Greenstone -> GEMS//).
-=== Uninstall ===
-The Uninstall program included with your installation provides an easy way to remove the Greenstone
-software from your computer, while giving you the option to keep or remove any collections you have created,
-as well.
-=== Documentation ===
-The //Documentation// folder includes links to the [[http://www.greenstone.org|Greenstone page]] and [[http://wiki.greenstone.org|Greenstone wiki]],
-as well as a short README file.
