Overview

The package of Omeka S doesn’t come with any modules, and only one theme, the default theme.

In general, content is not included in GIT. This includes modules and themes.This insures content is not overwritten.

Installation of Modules and Themes

Generally,we take the modules folder (and subfolders) from your previous version and just carry them over to the new one.
The modules and themes directory will be backed up before each update.
Updating the base or core is separate from updating the modules.
The easiest way to install a module or a theme is to use the module "Easy Install". This lists "official" modules and themes, but also those found on the web in other areas (github ex).
Modules and Themes are not included in GIT.

Test Site vs. Production

Many modules will be installed on test site, and not on Production

Update Module/Theme Procedure

Updates should be done within Omeka S using in- application tools
