Different parts of DSpace live in different areas on the DSpace server. Because each DSpace administrator decides where some parts of DSpace live, and operating systems have different ideas about where other parts live, we have employed italics to mark missing pieces of file paths. Some directories whose precise location varies among systems require special attention:

• Wiki Markup
  _\[dspace-source

  – The directory into which the DSpace administrator unpacks the downloaded DSpace code.
• _manakin-source _-- The directory into which the DSpace administrator unpacks the downloaded Manakin source code.

• \]_ -- The directory into which the DSpace administrator unpacks the downloaded DSpace code.

• Wiki Markup
  _\[manakin-source\]_ -- The directory into which the DSpace administrator unpacks the downloaded Manakin source code.

• Wiki Markup
  _\[dspace\]_ -- The directory into which the Java

  dspace – The directory into which the Java

  Code Block
  ant

  command deposits compiled DSpace code. This location is set in DSpace's configuration file, dspace.cfg, as

  dspace.dir

• Wiki Markup
  _\[tomcat\]_ -- The directory where Apache Tomcat is installed. If you are not using Apache Tomcat, you may wish to customize some of these "how-to" documents to better match your servlet engine of choice (e.g. Jetty, Resin, etc).

Other DSpace resources

Although this "DSpace How-To Guide" introduces many common customizations currently available within DSpace, it should not be considered a stand-alone document. You should be aware of many other valuable DSpace resources, including:

• DSpace Homepage – http://www.dspace.org
• DSpace Wiki – http://wiki.dspace.org/ Home
• DSpace Technical FAQ - http://wiki.dspace.org/ TechnicalFaq
• DSpace Resources Listing (including System Documentation and Mailing Lists) - http://wiki.dspace.org/DspaceResourcesManakin documentation – http://di.tamu.edu/projects/xmlui/

Other useful resources

This "DSpace How-To Guide" introduces many customizations which rely on some general knowledge of other technologies, including XHTML, CSS, XML and XSLT. If you need a refresher on any of these technologies, here are a few useful web resources (available as of June 2007):
