The Scientific Collaboration Framework is under development.

Here you can download a working tarball of the SCF code.

Download

Drupal plus SCF installation profile (16.3 MB tar.gz)

Note that due to a bug in Drupal core (should be fixed by the next point release), you will need to use our packaged copy above or apply the patch yourself in order for the demonstration theme to be enabled automatically.

Environment Set-up Instructions

The provided tarball for the Scientific Collaboration Framework will install in the same manner as Drupal core. Note that you can only install one profile on a site, so select "Science Collaboration Framewor (SCF)" and not the default "Drupal".

Interested developers can get SCF with Git. See instructions on that page for accessing SCF code under-development from our repository on GitHub.

Prerequisites

SCF Drupal recommends a minimum of 32MB of memory assigned to PHP. Some pre-installed Drupal distributions, such as the popular MAMP for Mac OS X, may have only 8MB set aside. Please increase this in your php.ini file or elsewhere.

Installation Steps
