InvenioRDM¶
Welcome to the InvenioRDM project!
InvenioRDM is a ready-to-go, turn-key Research Data Management repository. It puts together the Invenio framework so you don't have to.
This documentation walks you through installing, configuring, and deploying your very own InvenioRDM instance. Furthermore, you can customize it for your needs and even add your own extensions! Follow the sections below in order to get a full picture of how to use InvenioRDM, or go straight to what you're interested in - each section is independent.
Install¶
To get started with InvenioRDM, you will want to install invenio-cli, our
command line tool for creating and updating your instance. This tool in turn
allows you to easily install an instance and manage it.
Develop¶
Once you are ready to dive in and work on your own instance - that is, configure, customize, debug, and extend it -, you will want to setup your project for development. Various commands are at your disposal and we walk you through the workflow for how to be effective with them. We also cover extensions.
