Installing DSpace provides an overview of the DSpace 7 installation process and all prerequisite software. You should review this before attempting an upgrade, in order to ensure you are running the required versions of Java, Node, etc. Upgrading DSpace provides a guide for upgrading from any old version of DSpace to v7. As in the past, your data migrates automatically, no matter which older version you are running. However, as the old XMLUI and JSPUI user interfaces are no longer supported, you must switch to using the new User Interface. |
