Introduction: Why DSpace 7? DSpace is the world’s leading open-source repository platform, used by thousands of institutions—from MIT and Cambridge to small universities and research labs—to manage, preserve, and provide access to digital assets. Version 7 represents a massive leap forward: a complete rewrite of the user interface (now based on Angular), a robust REST API, and significant improvements in configurability and performance.
mkdir C:\dspace Navigate to C:\dspace-source\dspace\config and copy local.cfg.EXAMPLE to local.cfg . Then edit local.cfg : dspace 7 installation on windows 10
cd C:\dspace-source mvn clean package cd dspace/target/dspace-7.6-build mvn antrun:run@fresh_install Wait for BUILD SUCCESS . This will copy webapps ( rest.war , solr.war , oai.war , etc.) into C:\dspace\webapps . First, copy the PostgreSQL JDBC driver into DSpace lib (required for database initialization).
Download postgresql-42.6.0.jar from Maven Central and place it in C:\dspace\lib . First, copy the PostgreSQL JDBC driver into DSpace
cd C:\dspace-source mvn package cd dspace\target\dspace-7.6-build ant -Dconfig=../../config/local.cfg fresh_install If ant is not recognized, you need to install Ant or use the Maven-based approach:
cd C:\ git clone https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace.git dspace-source cd dspace-source git checkout dspace-7.6 If you don’t use Git, download the zip from https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/releases and extract to C:\dspace-source . The default configuration assumes Unix paths. You need to edit several files. 6.1 Create the DSpace installation directory DSpace will be installed to a separate folder (not the source), e.g., C:\dspace . etc.) into C:\dspace\webapps .
INFO: Database is up to date (version 7.6) If you see errors, check that your local.cfg database credentials are correct.
