====== Installing from Source ======

VuFind is a web application and is built from a scripting language and therefore does not need to be built or compiled.  However the MARC Import Tool is a Java application that does need to be compiled.  Follow these simple steps to build the import tool.


===== Build the MARC Importer =====

  - Install Apache Ant
  - Run Ant to compile the Import Tool:
  <code>
  %> ant jar
  </code>
  - Ant will produce the Import tool as a jar file named VuFind-version-date.jar in the import directory
  - Rename the newly created jar file to import.jar

Now the import tool can be run from the import.sh script.
