OpenEDU is an installation profile.  To install OpenEDU do the following:

 

  1. Download and unpack Drupal into your web server's installation directory.  Be sure that the web server user has read/write privileges to the directories.

  3. If your site will present different subdomains (e.g. one for each school in the university for example), you may wish to set the value for $cookie_domain in your settings.php file to something like $cookie_domain=*.example.edu
