Bajar Greenstone

Greenstone es un software abierto distribuido conforme a los términos de la Licencia Pública General GNU. Corre bajo Windows y UNIX y tanto los binarios como los códigos fuente se pueden bajar. Está totalmente documentado en inglés, francés, español y ruso.

Elija la versión Greenstone que necesite de la lista que aparece a continuación. Cada versión le proporciona una interfaz completa en inglés, francés, español o ruso.

Cada versión también incluye la “Interfaz de la Biblioteca Digital Greenstone”, una herramienta gráfica diseñada para crear bibliotecas digitales que le da acceso a todas las funciones de Greenstone desde una interfaz fácil de usar con la que solo tiene que apuntar y hacer click. Para usar esta herramienta usted necesitará un Ambiente de Ejecución Java (JRE por sus siglas en inglés) adecuado. Si aún no la tiene, puede bajarlo haciendo click aquí. La versión más reciente actualmente es 1.4.2 (elija el JRE, no el SDK).

Windows Distribution (Latest)

This is the distribution you want if you're going to run Greenstone under any 32 bit Windows environment (that is, Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP etc.)

Greenstone can no longer be installed on 16 bit Windows (that is, Windows 3.1/3.11). However collections that have been exported to CD will still run on these systems (Greenstone2.70w and earlier) support.

Using this distribution you may either install the "local library", the "web library", or install and compile the source code (click here for a description of the differences between the "local library" and the "web library"). You will be asked which form of Greenstone you want during the installation process.

This distribution includes everything you need to run Greenstone (including a pre-built demonstration collection) and to build new Greenstone collections. Some functionality is not included however, mostly in an attempt to keep the distribution as small as possible. See below for details on how to get this missing functionality.

This distribution uses a standard Windows installer program, simply download the file and double-click it to install (see the Installer's Guide for more detailed installation instructions).

Unix/Linux Distribution (Latest)

This is the recommended distribution if you're installing Greenstone on any form of Unix or Linux.

This distribution comes with statically linked linux binaries. However, it also contains the Greenstone source code for compiling on other forms of Unix (or on linux if you prefer not to use the provided binaries).

This distribution includes everything you need to run Greenstone (including a pre-built demonstration collection) and to build new Greenstone collections. Some functionality is not included however, mostly in an attempt to keep the distribution as small as possible. See below for details on how to get this missing functionality.

To install this distribution, extract the gzipped tar archive and run the setupLinux.bin Java-based Installer program. Alternatively, run the Install.sh shell script from within the gsdl-X.XX-unix/Unix directory (see the Installer's Guide for more detailed installation instructions).

Mac Distribution (Latest)

This distribution contains dynamically linked binaries for Mac OS X running on PowerPC platforms.

This distribution has been tested on Mac OS X 10.4.7. It includes the pre-built binaries and also includes the demonstration collection, pre-built. This distribution also includes the Greenstone Librarian Interface for building collections.

To install this distribution, extract the gzipped tar archive and run the setupMacOSx.command Java-based Installer program.

Source Distribution (Latest)

This distribution contains the Greenstone source code along with the same demonstration collection as the distributions above (although the collection is not pre-built in this distribution).

This distribution does not have an automated installation procedure (running Install.sh will not work). Unless you're sure you know what you're doing you probably want one of the distributions above, both of which also contain the Greenstone source. Note that you can obtain an up-to-date version of the Greenstone source code at any time by using svn.

Nightly Release Snapshots

Nightly release snapshots of Greenstone3 are available at our snapshots page. (Greenstone2 snapshots coming soon!)

GLI client (Latest)

A new package containing the GLI client. This is a stand-alone GLI program that enables you to build collections on a remote server, without having Greenstone installed locally.

Greenstone3

Greenstone3 is a complete reimplementation of Greenstone, which does everything Greenstone2 does plus more. It is available for download at the Greenstone3 Homepage page.

Older Distributions

Older Distributions are available from Sourceforge.

Greenstone Interface Pack

Greenstone2.63 and later: Greenstone now comes with all languages enabled. New HTML and CSS stylesheets have removed the need for images with text on them, reducing the size of each language interface. This "classic interface" pack contains all the old text images (for all languages), and is designed to be used with a backwards compatibility macro file. You will only need to download this pack if you want to use the old-style tables + text images layout, or if you need support for Netscape 4, which doesn't support the new CSS. To use the images, edit greenstoneetcmain.cfg, and replace nav_css.dm with nav_ns4.dm in the macrofiles list. Note that this does not affect the multilingual support for the Greenstone Librarian Interface.

Paquete del lenguaje Greenstone

Este paquete contiene el interfaz a Greenstone en varias versiones en diferentes idiomas; ver aquí para más detalles.

Paquete Exportar a un CD-ROM

Este paquete habilita la función “Exportar a un CD-ROM” desde la Interfaz de Bibliotecario y desde el Collector. Para poder utilizarla debe tener instalado Greenstone en su computador.

Para instalarlo sólo descargue el archivo (funcionará con Windows y UNIX con la versión 2.52 de Greenstone) y extraiga el archivo zip en el directorio gsdlbinwindows de su Greenstone.
