PHP & Database requirements

This app is based on Laravel 7.30.4 and has, therefore, the same requirements1.

Primo, Alma, Alma API

As the name suggest, you will need ExLibris' Primo and Alma to make use of this application.
Furthermore, you will need an Alma API key that allows you to access the Alma Locations of your Alma Libraries. Alma API keys can be generated via the ExLibris Developer Network. Please contact ExLibris for more information about Alma and Primo API keys.

Warning

This application has been tested only on a non-VE Primo environment; we have no experience with VE yet, but we expect our application to work just as well.
