Procedure for creating a new tenant

Tip

The commands listed below, which perform various steps in the configuration process, are for a Linux , Mac OS X, or other Unix-like system, and are intended to run in a Terminal terminal shell like bash or sh. If you're using a Windows system, you can use the comparable cmd or PowerShell commands, bash via Windows Subsystem for Linux, or a tool like cygwin.

You can also use a graphical desktop interface rather than the command-line operations to perform these same steps: navigating through folders, copying folders, renaming files and folders, and so on. Also, in places where you're instructed to edit files, you're welcome to use your favorite GUI editor.

Tip

If you used the automated installer to install CollectionSpace, the commands listed below should be run as the cspace user.

CollectionSpace provides a tool to quickly copy the configuration of an existing tenant to create a new one.

Navigate to the directory containing the source directories for application and services.

Code Block
cd $HOME  
# Change into the directory that contains your CollectionSpace source code.
# For example, if that directory is named "collectionspace-source"/opt/collectionspace, enter:
cd /opt/collectionspace-source
 
ls
> application   services

...

When complete, you should see a final message that looks something like:

Code Block

We'll now do the same process for services directory.
