Installating amp


Alfresco provides a clean mechanism to deploy extensions or patches on the existing installation using the amp packages. AMP stands for Alfresco Module Package. Only the changed files can be bundled together as an AMP, and each AMP is provided a proper version number.

Installing amp is very simple in Alfresco. Under the <Alfresco Home>/tomcat/bin directory, there is an apply_amp sh or .bat file based on operating system.

  1. Copy the amp file in the <Alfresco Home>/amps directory if the deployment is for the Alfresco repository. If you need to deploy for Share, copy the amp in the amp_share folder.

  2. Stop Alfresco.

  3. Execute the apply_amps script.

  4. Start Alfresco once the amp package has been applied.
