Installation Steps
Before attempting installation please check that you have downloaded and saved all the mentioned prerequisites as shown below.
Java SDK (jdk-6u38-windows-i586)Apache ant (apache-ant-1.8.4-bin)Apache Maven (apache-maven-3.0.4-bin)PostgreSQL (postgresql-9.2.2-1-windows)Apache Tomcat (apache-tomcat-7.0.34)DSpace (dspace-3.0-src-release)
Step- 1
JAVA SDK (jdk-6u38-windows-i586)
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk6u38-downloads-1877406.html
Installing Java, to do this , double click on the file ‘jdk-6u38-windows-i586’ and follow the on screen instructions and accept the license agreement.
Step -2
APACHE ANT (apache-ant-1.8.4-bin)http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi
To install Apache Ant , create a new folder named “ANT” in “C:” drive , Unzip (Expand) contents of “apache-ant-1.8.4-bin” in to C:\ANT
APACHE MAVEN (apache-maven-3.0.4-bin)http://maven.apache.org/download.cgi
To install Apache Maven create a new folder named “MAVEN” in C:\MAVEN unzip “apache-maven-3.0.4-bin.zip” in to that folder.
Contd….
Step-3 (Environment Variable)
For Windows Vista or Windows 7
Right click “My Computer” Click “Properties” Click on “Advanced System Settings” from “Tasks” Choose “Advance” tab Click on “Environment Variable” Button
For Windows XP
Right click “My Computer” Click Properties “Advance” tab Click on “Environment Variable” Button
Now click on “PATH” variable under ‘System Variables’
and click on “Edit”.Button
Variable Name: JAVA_HOME Variable Value: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_38
Variable Name: ANT_HOME Variable Value: C:\ANT
Add followings to your PATH variable
; C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_38\bin;C:\ANT\bin;C:\MAVEN\bin
Step-4
Now it is time to verify the platform, to do this execute following commands in to the command prompt.
> java –version > ant –version >mvn – version
One should get following output.
Step-5
This step covers installation of PostgreSQL with database creation, to install PostgreSQL double click on “postgresql-9.2.2-1-windows”. Follow the onscreen instruction given by installer.
Step-6
In this step we will create an empty database for DSpace. To do this , perform following operation
Start >> Programs >> PostgreSQL 9.2 >> pgAdmin III
In this window right click on your server and click on connect as shown below.
“New Login Role”
To Create database
Creating New Database
Step-7
Apache Tomcat (apache-tomcat-7.0.34)http://tomcat.apache.org/download-70.cgi
This step installation of Apache Tomcat will be attempted, to do this, double click on “apache-tomcat-7.0.34.exe”

Step-8
This step we will perform actual installation of dspace.
Before doing this create an empty directory
in C: drive, where actual configuration, program files and datafiles of dspace will reside.
In our case we will be using “C:\DSpace”
Extract all the contents of ‘dspace-3.0-src-release.zip’ to one folder (i.e DSpace) and copy entire folder to your C:\ drive as C:\ dspace-1.7.0-src-release.zip
Once the files are unzipped, go to
“C:\Dspace\dspace-3.0-src-release\dspace\config”,
Find out “dspace.cfg” and open in notepad or any other editor and atleast change the following parameters. Use forward slashes `/` for path separators
Changes to be made in Dspace.cfg
dspace.dir = C:/Dspace. dspace.name = "Dspace Repository". mail.server = mail.yourinstitute.ac.in mail.from.address = [email protected] feedback.recipient = [email protected] mail.admin = [email protected]
Once you have edited dspace configuration file open the command prompt and go to “C:\ dspace-3.0-src-release \dspace” folder
“cd C:\Dspace\dspace-3.0-src-release\dspace”
Now type “mvn package” and press enter
“C:\Dspace\dspace-3.0-src-release\dspace> mvn package”
Note:Please note that internet connection is required to perform this operation,Maven will download dspace source dependencies online.
Now go to “C:\ dspace-1.7.0-src-release\dspace\target\dspace-1.7.0-build.dir” on command prompt
“cd C:\ dspace-1.7.0-src-release\dspace\target\dspace-1.7.0-build.dir”
Now type “ant fresh_install” and press enter
C:\ dspace-1.7.0-src-release\dspace\target\dspace-1.7.0-build.dir>ant fresh_install
Step-9 Create Administrator
Now it is time to create default system administrator. To create administrator execute following command
“C:\dspace\bin\dspace create-administrator”
Using your explorer browse through your C:\dspace\webapps folder
Copy “jspui” and “xmlui” folder to your tomcat installation’s webapps folder
Step-10
Start tomcat service if it is already not running by going in to :Control Panel Administrative Tools Services Apache Tomcat 7 and clicking on “Start”
Point your browser to
http://localhost:8080/jspui or
http://localhost:8080/xmlui
Yahooo we are done with Installation
