UNIX-like OS or Microsoft Windows- UNIX-like operating system (Linux, HP/UX, Mac OSX, etc.) : Many distributions of Linux/Unix come with some of the dependencies below pre-installed or easily installed via updates. You should consult your particular distribution's documentation or local system administrators to determine what is already available.
- Microsoft Windows: While DSpace can be run on Windows servers, most institutions tend to run it on a UNIX-like operating system.
Node.js (v10.x or v12.x)- Node.js can be found at https://nodejs.org/. It may be available through your Linux distribution's package manager. We recommend running a Long Term Support (LTS) version (latest is 12.x). Non-LTS versions are not recommended.
- Node.js is a Javascript runtime that also provides npm (Node Package Manager). It is used to both build and run the frontend.
Yarn (v1.x)- Yarn v1.x is available at https://classic.yarnpkg.com/. It may be available through your Linux distribution's package manager.
- Yarn is used to build/install the frontend.
DSpace 7.x Backend (see above)- The DSpace Frontend cannot function without an installed DSpace Backend. Follow the instructions above.
- The Frontend and Backend need not be installed on the same server. They may be installed on separate machines as long as the two machines can connect to one another via HTTP or HTTPS.
