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”

Apache Tomcat SetUp

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 = admin@drtc.ac.in feedback.recipient = admin@drtc.ac.in mail.admin = admin@drtc.ac.in

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
