The Dataverse Network Project

Install and set up the DVN application as follows:

1. Extract the DVN .jar or .tar archive file on the server.
   The installation script creates and installs to the correct file. After installation, you can remove the original .jar or .tar file.
2. Open the GlassFish server Admin Console and set up a new Applications option for the DVN.
3. Deploy the DVN-EAR.ear application as follows:
   • Type - Enterprise Application (.ear)
   • Location - /<DVN>/DVN-EAR.ear

   When the application is deployed, the required database tables are created in PostgreSQL.

4. Using the admin tool that you downloaded with PostgreSQL, open the database and load and execute the referenceData.sql script.
   Type the following:
   psql -d <your database name> -f /<DVN>/referenceData.sql
5. In a browser window, open the DVN application at the following URL:
   http://<hostname>/dvn
   Log in by using networkAdmin as both the user name and password.
6. Change the default password and default e-mail address.
   Click the networkAdmin link on the right side of the main menu, and then click Update Account.

To change any other default settings (banner, footer, about page, and so on), or to create dataverses and start uploading studies and data files, see the Dataverse Network user guides.
