Introduction
eSciDoc is open source software. You can download it for free. The software is available under the Common Development and Distribution License.eSciDoc requires the installation of a runtime environment with several components (database, application server, repository). Due to licensing restrictions, we cannot offer a convenient installer for most of these components. You will have to download and install these components first, before installing any eSciDoc software. Please refer to the installation notes to see which components are necessary and how to install them.
We are aware that the current installation process is cumbersome and difficult. We are working on an improved installation experience. Meanwhile, you may ask for help via the eSciDoc Infrastructure Users
mailing list. However, eSciDoc is an open-source project, so please understand that we have limited resources for support. If you are interested in professional support, please read our Support page.
