• Installs dspace-stats-collector requeriments and packages in the miniconda python enviroment
• Creates a default configuration file in CURRENT_USER_HOME/dspace-stats-collector/config
• Downloads lastest COUNTER Robots file
• Installs dspace-stats-collector script in the user crontab

IMPORTANT: The instalation script and the dspace-stats-collector does not require superuser privileges and don´t install any software outside the CURRENT_USER_HOME/dspace-stats-collector. The collector script execute read only queries over dspace relational db and solr core. This tool doesn´t write or modify any dspace file, dspace db or solr core.

2. Download installation script from: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lareferencia/dspace-stats-collector/master/install-standalone.sh
3. Execute installation script from a plain user (ie: dspace)
4. Configure matomo site parameters provided in CURRENT_USER_HOME/dspace-stats-collector/config/default.properties
5. Execute CURRENT_USER_HOME/dspace-stasts-collector/bin/dspace-stats-collector -v (will collect and send events for the first time)
6. Check if the collector is sending data to matomo instance ( do not execute the next step without this check )
7. Execute CURRENT_USER_HOME/dspace-stasts-collector/bin/dspace-stats-cronify (will install collector in user cron)
