What is Hyrax?

Hyrax is a Ruby on Rails Engine built by the Samvera community. Hyrax provides a foundation for creating many different digital repository applications.

Note: As a Rails Engine, Hyrax is not a web application. To build your digital repository using Hyrax you must mount the Hyrax engine within a Rails application. We call an application that mounts Hyrax a "Hyrax-based application" (or sometimes a "Hyrax Application").

Hyrax offers the ability to:

• Create repository object types on demand
• Deposit content via multiple configurable workflows
• Describe content with flexible metadata
• Enable/disable optional features via an administrative dashboard
• And more (https://hyrax.samvera.org/about/)
