Step 4 - Make the script executable

Type the following:

chmod 0755 $HOME/scripts/build-webapps

Step 5 - Run the script

Now you can rebuild DSpace WHEN NEEDED by simply typing the following;

$HOME/scripts/build-webapps

After the rebuild check that the config files have been copied over from the source folder correctly.
