Java SDK (jdk-6u38-windows-i586) Apache ant (apache-ant bin) Apache Maven (apache-maven bin) PostgreSQL (postgresql windows) Apache Tomcat (apache-tomcat ) DSpace (dspace-3.0-src-release)
Step- 1 JAVA SDK (jdk-6u38-windows-i586) k6u38-downloads html Installing Java, to do this, double click on the file ‘jdk-6u38- windows-i586’ and follow the on screen instructions and accept the license agreement.
Step -2 APACHE ANT (apache-ant bin) To install Apache Ant, create a new folder named “ANT” in “C:” drive, Unzip (Expand) contents of “apache-ant bin” in to C:\ANT APACHE MAVEN (apache-maven bin) To install Apache Maven create a new folder named “MAVEN” in C:\MAVEN unzip “apache-maven bin.zip” in to that folder.

Step-3 (Environment Variable) For Windows Vista or Windows 7 Right click “My Computer” Click “Properties” Click on “Advanced System Settings” from “Tasks” Choose “Advance” tab Click on “Environment Variable” Button For Windows XP Right click “My Computer” Click Properties “Advance” tab Click on “Environment Variable” Button Now click on “PATH” variable under ‘System Variables’ and click on “Edit”.Button
Variable Name: JAVA_HOME Variable Value: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_38 Variable Name: ANT_HOME Variable Value: C:\ANT
Add followings to your PATH variable ; C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_38\bin;C:\ANT\bin;C:\MAVEN\bin
Step-4 Now it is time to verify the platform, to do this execute following commands in to the command prompt. > java –version > ant –version >mvn – version One should get following output.
Step-5 This step covers installation of PostgreSQL with database creation, to install PostgreSQL double click on “postgresql windows”. Follow the onscreen instruction given by installer.
Step-6 In this step we will create an empty database for DSpace. To do this, perform following operation Start >> Programs >> PostgreSQL 9.2 >> pgAdmin III In this window right click on your server and click on connect as shown below.

Step-8 This step we will perform actual installation of dspace. Before doing this create an empty directory in C: drive, where actual configuration, program files and datafiles of dspace will reside. In our case we will be using “C:\DSpace”
Extract all the contents of ‘dspace-3.0-src-release.zip’ to one folder (i.e DSpace) and copy entire folder to your C:\ drive as C:\ dspace src- release.zip Once the files are unzipped, go to “C:\Dspace\dspace-3.0-src-release\dspace\config”, Find out “dspace.cfg” and open in notepad or any other editor and atleast change the following parameters. Use forward slashes `/` for path separators
Changes to be made in Dspace.cfg dspace.dir = C:/Dspace. dspace.name = "Dspace Repository". mail.server = mail.yourinstitute.ac.in mail.from.address = feedback.recipient = mail.admin =
Once you have edited dspace configuration file open the command prompt and go to “C:\ dspace-3.0-src-release \dspace” folder “cd C:\Dspace\dspace-3.0-src-release\dspace” Now type “mvn package” and press enter “C:\Dspace\dspace-3.0-src-release\dspace> mvn package” Note:Please note that internet connection is required to perform this operation,Maven will download dspace source dependencies online.
Now go to “C:\ dspace src-release\dspace\target\dspace build.dir” on command prompt “cd C:\ dspace src-release\dspace\target\dspace build.dir” Now type “ant fresh_install” and press enter C:\ dspace src-release\dspace\target\dspace build.dir>ant fresh_install
Step-9 Create Administrator Now it is time to create default system administrator. To create administrator execute following command “C:\dspace\bin\dspace create-administrator”
Using your explorer browse through your C:\dspace\webapps folder
Copy “jspui” and “xmlui” folder to your tomcat installation’s webapps folder
Step-10 Start tomcat service if it is already not running by going in to : Control Panel Administrative Tools Services Apache Tomcat 7 and clicking on “Start” Point your browser to or
