How to install locally

Please be aware that this all is work in progress and will change often. As we did not release any version (neither an alpha or beta version) yet, there is no stable state to which we can refer to. Nevertheless let us give you some short hints on what you can do to install your own local version:

  • Install DSpace 6, create some communities, collections and archive some items
  • Shutdown you servlet container and undeploy all previous DSpace UIs
  • Compile the current master (https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/tree/master) and run ant update as usual
  • Deploy the webapp dspace-spring-rest as dspace-spring-rest (if you use another path, you may want to change the index.html file withing the webapp)
  • Start your servlet container and take a look into its logfiles
    • If you have problems deploying the webapp in cause for slf4j and log4j, it may be necessary to delete [dspace]/webapps/spring-rest/WEB-INF/lib/slf4j-log4j12-1.7.22.jar
  • Test if dspace-spring-rest was loaded successfully by opening it in a browser. You can compare it to the demo linked above.
  • Install dspace-angular. You can try it as described in the OR2017 DSpace Angular Workshop or take a look into the Readme.md in the dspace-angular git repository.
