Installation

This method gets you up and running with DSpace quickly and easily. It is identical in both the Default Release and

Source Release distributions.

1. Create the DSpace user. This needs to be the same user that Tomcat (or Jetty etc) will run as. e.g. as root run:

useradd -m dspace

2. Download the latest DSpace release [http://sourceforge.net/projects/dspace/] and unpack it. Although there are two

available releases (dspace-1.x-release.zip and dspace-1.x-src-release.zip), you only need to
