Hi David, A quick response, in the middle of other things. It seems that your $CATALINA_HOME environmental variable has not been set, or that the folder at which the variable points doesn't exist. Instructions for setting the environmental variables can be found on the CSpace wiki: http://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/DOC/Installing+4.0+on+Aptitude+Compatible+Linux+Distributions-- scroll down to the section headed Setting Up CollectionSpace. Aron Roberts, my CollectionSpace colleague and general go-to person on installation questions, is out today, expected to return Monday. He might have keener insights than I.

Hi David, Thank you for your interest in CollectionSpace! We also appreciate your installation trouble report. On its face, that error sounds like the CATALINA_HOME environment variable may not have been set. The value of that variable is used by the Maven Cargo plugin, from what I recall. (I see now that my colleague, Rick Jaffe, zeroed in on this very thing in his message you to a short while ago.) You can find a list of all of the environment variables that need to be set, gathered into one place in the Installation Guide for Apt-compatible Linux systems. If any of these are missing, the build will either fail at some point or the resultant installation will be incomplete. After setting that environment variable, you can try rebuilding CollectionSpace's Application layer by entering 'mvn clean install -DskipTests', from the top level of the directory named 'application' and let us know if that build now works. Aron Roberts UC Berkeley P.S. At some point, when and if it's convenient for you, we'd very much enjoy knowing what uses you - or your client, if relevant - are considering for CollectionSpace.. P.P.S. Two more options for getting a CollectionSpace server up and running more quickly than the manual installation: 1) My colleague, Ray Lee, has prepared a VirtualBox image with a CollectionSpace 4.0 server installed. That image comes with Ubuntu Server 13.10. You can find it here; there are instructions in an included 'read me' file. https://berkeley.box.com/s/mbiwgsv8pgzvx5cbgpuq 2) We're fairly far into the process of developing an automated process for installing CollectionSpace, using the Puppet configuration management tool. At some point, hopefully soon, it should be possible to type just a couple of commands to initiate an unattended installation of a CollectionSpace server.
