• Java SDK of course; v 1.5+ For Ant to work properly, you should ensure that `JAVAJAVA_HOME` HOME is set. (Why in the world the Sun installer doesn't do this, I know not.)

...

• Wiki Markup
  [Apache Maven 2.0.8\+|http://maven.apache.org/download.html]. Just unzip it wherever you want it installed, and add `{{\[path-to-apache-maven\|path-to-apache-maven\]\]\bin`bin}} to your system `PATH`{{PATH}}.

• Wiki Markup
  [Apache Ant 1.7.x|http://ant.apache.org/]. Just unzip it wherever you want it installed, and add `{{\[path-to-apache-ant\|path-to-apache-ant\]\]\bin`bin}} to your system `PATH`{{PATH}}.

• Jakarta Tomcat 5.x+. This comes with a Windows installer app and is again easy to install.

...

• Ensure the PostgreSQL service is running, and then run pgAdmin III (Start -> PostgreSQL 8.x -> pgAdmin III). Connect to the local database as the `postgres` postgres user, and:
  • Create a 'Login Role' (user) called `dspace` dspace with the password `dspace` dspace (feel free to set your own password
  • Create a database called `dspace` dspace owned by the user `dspace` dspace, with UTF-8 encoding

• Wiki Markup
  Update paths in `{{\[dspace-source\|dspace-source\]\dspace\config\dspace.cfg`cfg}}.

Note: Use forward slashes `/` for path separators, though you can still use drive letters, e.g.:

dspace.dir = C:/DSpace

• Create the directory for the DSpace installation (e.g. `CC:\DSpace`DSpace)

• Wiki Markup
  Build DSpace in the normal fashion. From `{{\[dspace-source\|dspace-source\]\dspace\`}} run:

mvn package

• Wiki Markup
  Then install DSpace to your specified location. From `{{\[dspace-source\|dspace-source\]\dspace\target\dspace-\[version\].dir\`}} run:

ant fresh_install

• Create an administrator account, e.g. assuming `CC:\dspace` dspace is where your DSpace installation is:

C:\dspace\bin\dsrun org.dspace.administer.CreateAdministrator

(then enter the required info)

• Copy the `.war` war Web application files from `CC:\dspace\webapps\` to Tomcat's `webapps` webapps dir, which should be somewhere like `CC:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat\webapps`webapps

• Start the Tomcat service

• Browse http://localhost:8080/dspace. You should see the DSpace home page!

...

• If you run into any problems with the PostgreSQL install, you may wish to refer to the PostgreSQL Windows FAQ

• Only `dsrun` dsrun has been translated to a Windows `.bat` bat file. The other scripts (e.g. `cleanup` cleanup, `indexindex-all`all) won't work on Windows, hence you have to use `dsrundsrun.bat` bat with the class name as shown in the install steps above. You can run any other script by opening up the file, and finding the class name after "$BINDIR/dsrun". So, to run `cleanup` cleanup on Windows, you'd instead run `dsrun dsrun org.dspace.storage.bitstore.Cleanup`Cleanup

• No information yet about how to initialise regular scheduled tasks (e.g. e-mail notification of new items) – please feel free to add!!
