Install D-Space in Ubuntu

Installing DSpace in Ubuntu involves several steps, including installing the necessary dependencies, downloading and configuring the DSpace software, and creating a database. Here are the steps to install DSpace in Ubuntu: 

  1. Update Ubuntu: Run the following command to update Ubuntu:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

  1. Install the necessary dependencies: Run the following command to install the necessary dependencies:
sudo apt install default-jdk ant git tomcat8 postgresql libpostgresql-jdbc-java maven

  1. Create a database: Run the following command to create a new PostgreSQL database:
sudo -u postgres createdb -O [username] [database name]

Replace [username] with the username you want to use to access the database, and [database name] with the name you want to give the database.

  1. Download and extract DSpace: Run the following commands to download and extract DSpace:
cd /opt sudo git clone https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace.git cd DSpace sudo git checkout dspace-6.3 sudo mvn package sudo mv target/dspace-[version]-build.dir /opt/dspace

Replace [version] with the version of DSpace you downloaded.

  1. Configure DSpace: Run the following command to configure DSpace:
cd /opt/dspace sudo cp dspace/config/dspace.cfg.example dspace/config/dspace.cfg sudo nano dspace/config/dspace.cfg

Edit the dspace.cfg file to match your system configuration.

  1. Build DSpace: Run the following command to build DSpace:
sudo /opt/dspace/bin/dspace index-discovery sudo /opt/dspace/bin/dspace create-administrator

  1. Deploy DSpace: Run the following command to deploy DSpace to Tomcat:
sudo ln -s /opt/dspace/webapps/xmlui /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/ sudo ln -s /opt/dspace/webapps/jspui /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/ sudo ln -s /opt/dspace/webapps/solr /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/ sudo ln -s /opt/dspace/webapps/oai /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/ sudo ln -s /opt/dspace/webapps/rest /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/

  1. Restart Tomcat: Run the following command to restart Tomcat:
sudo systemctl restart tomcat8

That's it! DSpace should now be installed on your Ubuntu system. You can access it by going to http://localhost:8080/xmlui/ or http://localhost:8080/jspui/ in your web browser.
