SUNScholar/Install DSpace/S03

Step 3. Unpack DSpace

Step 3.1

Type the following to extract the source code.

Note: Select the DSpace version you are going to use

tar -xzvf /home/dspace/dspace-3.2-src-release.tar.gz

tar -xzvf /home/dspace/dspace-1.8.2-src-release.tar.gz

Step 3.2

To be able to simplify the wiki documentation when doing upgrades and to simply path references to the source code, the following "symbolic link" is created by typing the following:

For DSpace version 3.2

cd /home/dspace

ln -s dspace-3.2-src-release source

For DSpace version 1.8.2

cd /home/dspace

ln -s dspace-1.8.2-src-release source

This creates the /home/dspace/source path which will then be used for all of the following documentation to refer to the source code.
