Install DSpace - Index

Step 2. Get DSpace version 1.7.2

Step 2.1

sudo adduser dspace

Fill in the details as required and supply a user password. Do not forget the password!

Add the dspace user to the Ubuntu admin groups

adduser dspace adm
adduser dspace admin

Now we change to becoming the dspace user for the rest of the installation

sudo su dspace

Step 2.2

Click here to download the DSpace source code to the dspace home folder.

You can also copy the source code to a USB stick from another computer connected to internet. Then attach the USB stick to your server. The server normally mounts the USB stick to the /media folder. Check for the source code there. Copy the source code to dspace user home folder.

For convenience you may download from our library linux web server by typing the following.

wget http://web.lib.sun.ac.za/dspace/dspace-1.7.2-src-release.tar.gz
Please note

Stellenbosch University Library stays one major version behind the current DSpace version because we do not have expert java programmers to fix bugs. So we stay super stable with the version just before the latest.
