Install DSpace 7 on Ubuntu 18.04

Last updated on: Published by: Systems Librarian 4

The instructions here will show you how to install DSpace 7 on Ubuntu 18.04. It is important to note that DSpace 7 has not yet been released at the time of writing this guide. One of the main changes in DSpace 7 is that it has been split into a front-end and a back-end. The front-end is the user interface and the back-end is mostly used to serve the REST-APIs and is not user friendly. To have a fully functional dspace 7, you need to install both, preferably on the same system.

These instructions assume that you have already installed Ubuntu and is connected to the internet. The instructions also assume that you have very little understanding of the Linux command-line and advanced users will therefore find some instructions trivial.
