Slide: Learning Objectives Slide In this tutorial, we will learn to
  • Install DSpace on Windows 10 OS
  • Crossverify DSpace installation and
  • Create a DSpace administrator account
Slide: System requirements This tutorial is recorded using
  • Windows 10 64 bit OS

Slide: Pre-requisites You will also need minimum 5 unique email ids for practising various roles in DSpace.

If you don’t have, then please create them before proceeding ahead.

Slide : Code files
  • The commands used in this tutorial are in a file in the Code Files link on this tutorial page.
  • Please download and extract the file before practicing.
Switch to WordPad and open the file I have opened the commands file in WordPad editor on my machine.

And I will use the same file to copy-paste the commands during the demonstration. The shortcut to paste on the Command Prompt is Ctrl and V keys.

Narration only Let us begin.

First, we will download the source code for DSpace 6.3.

Open a web browser. Open a web browser.

In the address bar type the URL as shown and press Enter.
Click on the Save file If prompted, click on the Save file option and then on the OK button.
Open Downloads folder Go to the place where you have downloaded the file on your machine.

In my case it is in the Downloads folder.

Copy dspace-6.3-src-release.zip file to C drive Copy the dspace-6.3-src-release.zip file to C drive.
Click Continue When prompted, click on Continue to provide administrator permissions for copy.
Unzip dspace-6.3-src-release.zip file Now unzip dspace-6.3-src-release.zip file using 7-zip as shown.
Point to folder dspace-6.3-src-release The contents of the zip file are extracted into dspace-6.3-src-release folder.
Browse and Point to local.cfg.EXAMPLE in folder view

C Drive >> dspace-6.3-src-release >> dspace >> config>>local.cfg.EXAMPLE

DSpace source code has local.cfg.EXAMPLE, which is a sample DSpace configuration.

DSpace checks for the configuration in the local.cfg file.

Slide : local.cfg file local.cfg file can be created in two ways:
  1. Renaming local.cfg.EXAMPLE as local.cfg
  2. Copying local.cfg.EXAMPLE as local.cfg
Create copy of local.cfg.EXAMPLE as local.cfg - Copy.EXAMPLE First we’ll make a copy of local.cfg.EXAMPLE file by pressing Ctrl + C and then Ctrl + V as shown.
Rename local.cfg - Copy.EXAMPLE file as local.cfg. Then rename the local.cfg - Copy.EXAMPLE file as local.cfg.
Click Yes button Click on the Yes button to confirm the renaming.
Open local.cfg file with WordPad Now open the local.cfg file with WordPad editor.
SERVER CONFIGURATION Locate the SERVER CONFIGURATION section.
Enter the path of installation directory

dspace.dir=C:/dspace

Here, I have set the values for some parameters.

Kindly update in your configuration file also. Webapps created during dspace installation will be stored in dspace.dir path. Value for dspace.dir is C:/dspace

dspace.ui = xmlui

dspace.ui =

The default value of dspace.ui is xmlui.

We will remove that value and leave it as blank. dspace.ui is left blank to enable email-based user verification.

Highlight

dspace.hostname = localhost dspace.baseUrl = http://localhost:8080 solr.server = http://localhost:8080/solr

Now suppose we are working on a remote machine.

Then set the machine ip as a value for dspace.hostname, dspace.baseUrl and solr.server.

db.username = dspace db.password = dbuserpass

Locate DATABASE CONFIGURATION section.

Enter the value for db.username as dspace and db.password as dbuserpass.
