Download Greenstone
Ci sono due versioni principali del software: Greenstone2 e Greenstone3. Greenstone3 è in fase di sviluppo attivo ed è consigliato per il download. Forniamo anche versioni di manutenzione per il suo precursore, Greenstone2, che è ampiamente utilizzato in tutto il mondo. Greenstone3 è compatibile a ritroso con le collezioni Greenstone2. Se siete nuovi a Greenstone vi consigliamo di scaricare la versione 3. Se avete già un'installazione di Greenstone2, potete scegliere tra l'aggiornamento all'ultima versione di Greenstone2 o la migrazione a Greenstone3. L'interfaccia della libreria in Greenstone3 include uno strumento di conversione per assistere la migrazione delle collezioni.
Note: If you are unable to download the binary or package of your choice from SourceForge, drop us an email at the Greenstone mailing list with the requested version and we'll upload it for you at a more convenient location.
