Contribute to the DSpace Development Fund
The newly established DSpace Development Fund supports the development of new features prioritized by DSpace Governance. For a list of planned features see the fund wiki page.
As of version 7 (and above), the DSpace application is split into a "frontend" (User Interface) and a "backend" (Server API). Most institutions will want to install BOTH. However, you can decide whether to run them on the same machine or separate machines.
We recommend installing the Backend first, as the Frontend requires a valid Backend to run properly.
Work in progress (Feedback welcome)
These installation instructions are a work-in-progress and based heavily on the DSpace 6.x installation instructions. Feedback or improvements are welcome.

Please install "git"
At this time, installation requires checking out the codebase via Git. In later Beta releases, we will provide prepackaged downloads.
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
# 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
[dspace-angular]/config/environment.default.js
configuration file, pointing it at your installed DSpace Backend. For example:// 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' }
Start the application
# build and start the application yarn start
