Paste them into C:\Solr\server\solr\configsets\ (or directly into C:\Solr\server\solr\ depending on your Solr setup mode). Restart Solr: solr.cmd restart Use code with caution. Deploy to Tomcat

Download and install each of these components. During installation, pay attention to the following:

However, installing DSpace 7 on remains a challenge for many system administrators and developers because DSpace was originally designed for Unix-like environments (Linux, macOS). This guide will walk you through every required step—from installing prerequisites to running the Angular UI and REST API locally on Windows 10.

With the backend successfully serving data, you can now set up the user interface. Step 6.1: Clone the Frontend Repository

Download the DSpace backend source code and configure the local.cfg file. Key settings include dspace.dir (installation path), dspace.server.url , and dspace.ui.url .

Execute the following SQL commands to create the dspace user and database:

DSpace 7 uses a separate Angular UI. Open a .

-- Install Yarn globally if you haven't already npm install --global yarn -- Install local project dependencies yarn install -- Start the development server yarn start Use code with caution.

A Node.js application built on Angular. It handles the user interface and server-side rendering (SSR). Prerequisites and System Requirements

With the backend running, we now set up the Angular user interface. 1. Clone the Frontend Code

Next steps:

: DSpace 7 requires an LTS version of Java. Download the installer from the Oracle JDK Download Page or use Eclipse Temurin.

Create a new database named dspace , owned by the dspace user.

💡 For a smoother experience on Windows 10, consider using WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux) with Ubuntu. It handles DSpace dependencies much more natively than a direct Windows installation.

The backend provides the API that stores and manages your data. Database Setup: Create a PostgreSQL user and database named . Use the command CREATE EXTENSION pgcrypto; within the Download the DSpace 7 source code and locate the folder. Rename local.cfg.EXAMPLE
