Installation: fits

Notes

FITS retrieves xml metadata from the files you upload to HydraDAM, which allows you to harvest pre-existing metadata such as the file type.

Steps

1. Change to the install directory.

mkdir -p /opt/install && cd /opt/install

1. Get FITS.

wget http://fits.googlecode.com/files/fits-0.6.2.zip

1. Install fits.sh.

   unzip fits-0.6.2.zip  
   sudo chmod +x fits-0.6.2/fits.sh  
   sudo cp -r fits-0.6.2/* /usr/local/bin/  

2. Simlink FITS to fits.sh

sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/fits.sh /usr/local/bin/fits

The final output for the steps above should look similar to this (with the ... indicating system generated code that has been intentionally left out of these instructions):

Invalid CLI options

 -h         print this message
 -i <arg>   input file or directory
 -o <arg>   output file
 -r         process directories recursively when -i is a directory
 -v         print version information
 -x         convert FITS output to a standard metadata schema
 -xc        output using a standard metadata schema and include FITS xml

Verification Steps

1. Confirm FITS.

fits

# The output should state “Invalid CLI options” and the fits usage notes.

1. Test your FITS installation on the test.jpg you created when you tested FFmpeg.

fits –i test.jpg

# This should return a bunch of xml about your screenshot.
