Run marc2are.pl against the authority records, specifying the user name, password, MARC type (USMARC or XML). Use STDOUT redirection to either pipe the output directly into the next command or into an output file for inspection. For example, to process a file with authority records in MARCXML format named auth_small.xml using the default user name and password, and directing the output into a file named auth.are:

cd Open-ILS/src/extras/import/
perl marc2are.pl --user admin --pass open-ils --marctype XML auth_small.xml > auth.are

Run parallel_pg_loader.pl to generate the SQL necessary for importing the authority records into your system. This script will create files in your current directory with filenames like pg_loader-output.are.sql and pg_loader-output.sql (which runs the previous SQL file). To continue with the previous example by processing our new auth.are file:

cd Open-ILS/src/extras/import/
perl parallel_pg_loader.pl --auto are --order are auth.are

Load the authority records from the SQL file that you generated in the last step into your Evergreen database using the psql tool. Assuming the default user name, host name, and database name for an Evergreen instance, that command looks like:

psql -U evergreen -h localhost -d evergreen -f pg_loader-output.sql
