For Windows 7
 Right click “My Computer” Click “Properties” Click on “Advanced
System Settings” from “Tasks” Choose “Advance” tab Click on
“Environment Variable” Button
Variable Name: JAVA_HOME
Variable Value: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79
Variable Name: ANT_HOME
Variable Value: C:\ant
 Add followings to your PATH variable
; C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\bin;c:\ant\bin;c:\maven\bin

Apache Tomcat Setup

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 data files of dspace will reside.
 In our case we will be using “C:\dspace”
 Extract all the contents of ‘dspace-5.1-src-release.zip’ to one folder (i.e. dspace)
and copy entire folder to your C:\ drive as C:\ dspace\dspace-5.1-src-release
 Once the files are unzipped, go to
“C:\dspace\dspace-5.1-src-release\”,
 Find out “build” and open in notepad or any other editor and at least change the
following parameters. Use forward slashes `/` for path separators
Changes to be made in build.properties
Once you have edited dspace configuration file open the command prompt and go
to “C:\ dspace\dspace-5.1-src-release \dspace” folder
“cd C:\dspace\dspace-5.1-src-release\”
Now type “mvn package” and press enter
“C:\dspace\dspace-5.1-src-release\> 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\dspace-5.1-src-release\dspace\target\dspace-installer” on
command prompt
“cd c:\dspace\dspace-5.1-src-release\dspace\target\dspace-installer”
Now type “ant fresh_install” and press enter
c:\dspace\dspace-5.1-src-release\dspace\target\dspace-installer >ant
fresh_install

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
http://localhost:8080/jspui
