Installing the OpenSearch for EO module
=======================================

The installation of the module requires four steps:

* Setting up a PostGIS database with the required schema
* Install the OpenSearch for EO plugin and configure it
* Fill the database with information about collection and metadata

Setting up the PostGIS database
-------------------------------

Create a PostgreSQL database and run the following SQL script::

  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/geoserver/geoserver/master/src/community/oseo/oseo-core/src/test/resources/postgis.sql

Downloading and installing the OpenSearch extension
---------------------------------------------------

The module is a community one, and thus available among the nightly builds of the
desired series (the module works for 2.12.x onwards):

* Check the `download page <http://geoserver.org/download/>` for the desired series (development,
  stable or maintenance)
* Follow the nightly build links
* Check the ``community-latest`` folder
* Download the ``geoserver-<VERSION>-SNAPSHOT-opensearch-eo-plugin.zip`` file, and unzip its contents in the GeoServer unpacked WAR lib directory, e.g., "geoserver/WEB-INF/lib"
* Restart GeoServer
