Correction:

If you run the node.js web service on port 3000 (for instance the server
machine "nikita.oka.no") and want to access Nikita Noark 5 Core server
from a remote machine ("portable"), you must also change the following
in nikita-noark5-core/web/dependencies/internal/config.js with your
server (replace "nikita.oka.no" with your own unique hostname or IP).

diff --git a/web/dependencies/internal/config.js
b/web/dependencies/internal/config.js

After you have made the changes in web/dependencies/internal/config.js,
you must launch the Nikita Noark 5 Core and node.js server as described
in https://lists.nuug.no/pipermail/nikita-noark/2017-June/000306.html

In Terminal 1:

# cd nikita-noark5-core/
# make

In Terminal 2:

# cd nikita-noark5-core/web/
# make run

git clone https://github.com/oleaamot/noark5-parser.git
cd noark5-parser/
./runparser

When you have imported the Noark 5 arkivstruktur.xml files with
noark5-parser, you can open Google Chrome or Chromium on
http://nikita.oka.no:3000/ (replace "nikita.oka.no" with your own
hostname or IP) and login with the username "admin" and the
password "password" to test the GUI.

I changed license for noark5-parser from MIT License to
GNU General Public License version 3 and now work on
implementing these elements in noark5-parser.

See https://github.com/HiOA-ABI/nikita-noark5-core/ and
https://lists.nuug.no/mailman/listinfo/nikita-noark/ for more
details about the Nikita Noark5 Core project.

Happy hacking,
