Summary

The Sakai demonstration is easy to install and run. In this chapter, we covered installing the demonstration version, as well as downloading the source code and building Sakai from scratch.

Many organizations have deployed Sakai and much helpful support material exists in various locations around the Internet. For example, Indiana University has great examples of value-added support.

The Sakai project website http://sakaiproject.org has a wealth of links to supportive information and tutorials.

Test accounts are freely available on the Internet, and some companies offer commercial support for first-time or continuing deployments.

The next chapter, Sakai 2.x Anatomy, explains the underpinning technologies and how system integrators have deployed Sakai at large scales in practice.
