  1. First, install all the Frontend Requirements listed above.

  2. Download our "dspace-angular" application (which is the DSpace 7 user interface) using Git.  All you should need to do is the steps in the "Quick Start" at: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/#quick-start

    Code Block
    # clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular.git

# change directory to our repo
cd dspace-angular

# install the local dependencies
yarn install


  3. Modify the Frontend configuration to point at your DSpace Backend
    1. By default the Frontend will be configured to use the Demo Backend at https://dspace7.4science.cloud/server/
    2. Modify the "rest" section of the [dspace-angular]/config/environment.default.js configuration file, pointing it at your installed DSpace Backend.  For example:


      Code Block
      // This example is valid if your Backend is running at http://localhost:8080/server/
rest: {
   ssl: false,
   host: 'localhost',
   port: 8080,
   // NOTE: Space is capitalized because 'namespace' is a reserved string in TypeScript
   nameSpace: '/server/api'
}


    3. Alternatively, if you want, you can copy the "environment.default.js" to a new file called "environment.prod.js" and modify that new file.

  4. Start the application

    Code Block
    # build and start the application
yarn start


    1. To stop the application at any time, use Ctrl + C
  5. After a few minutes, the user interface will be running on your local machine. 
    1. Visit http://localhost:3000/
    2. For an example of what the default frontend looks like, visit the Demo Frontend: https://dspace7-demo.atmire.com/
