This is the Metadata Wrangler for Library Simplified. The metadata server utilizes and intelligently amalgamates a wide variety of information sources for library ebooks and incorporates them into the reading experience for users by improving selection, search, and recommendations.

It depends on the LS Server Core as a git submodule.

Thorough deployment instructions, including essential libraries for Linux systems, can be found in the Library Simplified wiki. If this is your first time installing a Library Simplified server, please review those instructions.

Keep in mind that the metadata server requires unique database names and a data directory, as detailed below.

Create relevant databases in Postgres:

$ sudo -u postgres psql
CREATE DATABASE simplified_metadata_test;
CREATE DATABASE simplified_metadata_dev;

# Create users, unless you've already created them for another LS project
CREATE USER simplified with password '[password]';
CREATE USER simplified_test with password '[password]';

grant all privileges on database simplified_metadata_dev to simplified;
grant all privileges on database simplified_metadata_test to simplified_test;

Clone the Library Simplified data directory to a location of your choice:

$ git clone https://github.com/NYPL-Simplified/data.git YOUR_DATA_DIRECTORY

In your content server configuration file, your specified "data_directory" should be YOUR_DATA_DIRECTORY.
