SUNScholar/Install DSpace/S06

Step 6. Compile the DSpace Java webapp

Change directory to the build directory by typing as follows:

cd /home/dspace/dspace-1.7.2-src-release/dspace/target/dspace-1.7.2-build.dir

Type the following in the above named directory:

ant fresh_install

A lot of information now appears on the screen. Below are shown the last lines confirming success:

[echo] ====================================================================
[echo] The DSpace code has been installed, and the database initialized.
[echo]
[echo] To complete installation, you should do the following:
[echo]
[echo] * Setup your Web servlet container (e.g. Tomcat) to look for your
[echo] DSpace web applications in: /home/dspace/webapps/
[echo]
[echo] OR, copy any web applications from /home/dspace/webapps/ to
[echo] the appropriate place for your servlet container.
[echo] (e.g. '$CATALINA_HOME/webapps' for Tomcat)
[echo]
[echo] * Make an initial administrator account (an e-person) in DSpace:
[echo]
[echo] /home/dspace/bin/create-administrator
[echo]
[echo] * Start up your servlet container (Tomcat etc.)
[echo]
[echo] You should then be able to access your DSpace's 'home page':
[echo]
[echo] http://vleinternal.bromley.ac.uk/dspace
[echo]
[echo] You should also be able to access the administrator UI:
[echo]
[echo] http://vleinternal.bromley.ac.uk/dspace/dspace-admin
[echo] ====================================================================
[echo]
BUILD SUCCESSFUL

Please note: If you change anything later then rebuild your Dspace. Do not run "ant fresh_install" again, this is only done once during installation.
