SUNScholar/Install DSpace/S05

Step 5. Maven packages installation

Make sure we have the right file permissions for a build.

sudo chown dspace.dspace -R /home/dspace

Change to the source folder as follows:

cd /home/dspace/dspace-1.8.2-src-release

Type the following to download the maven2 packages. Ensure you have an open connection to the internet first.

mvn -U package

A lot of stuff will start to be downloaded and scroll by on the screen.

If nothing starts downloading or you get download errors, then check your maven config file for proxy settings or ask for an open connection to the internet for your server from your central IT department.

Another possibility of a failure to build maybe a slow machine, in that case just restart the build several times until the build is complete.

If the downloads start, then go make a cup of coffee and check your emails... this takes quite a while with slow internet connections !!

When complete you will get a message at the end like this:
