Owl is a multi user document repository (knowledgebase) system written in PHP4 for publishing files in different formats onto the web for a corporation, small business or group of people. Users are able to capture documents and assign attributes to them when the document is uploaded into the Owl system. Network users are then able to locate the documents either by using the hierarchy folder structure or by using the built in search facility.

A document can be any type of electronic document or file that the user can access from their computer. Typically theses documents could be a word processing files, spreadsheets, or PDF files. But Owl is not just limited to common office file types. You can capture most graphic file types, audio or video files and display them within the system. Owl also has the possibility to integrate a virus scan engine and other tools to search files.

 The following article is a step by step installation guide. It was written with the assumption that you understand how to install programs and have a basic understanding of Suse Linux. This includes installing Linux and RPM packages, editing files, making directories, compiling software and understanding general UNIX commands. This guide doesn’t explain how to use or configure Owl but information on where to obtain this information can be found in the “Additional information” section.
