For this Preview release, we offer three different ways to install / run DSpace 7 locally. The route you choose may depend on exactly what you'd like to try out. Choose ONE of the following:
- Install via Docker - This is the easiest/quickest way to get everything running locally (no matter your technical skills). We even have a script to automatically load some test data and test accounts into your Docker instance.
- Install the User Interface (only), while using the demo REST API backend - This is the easiest way to try out just the User Interface locally. Keep in mind, by default, the User Interface will be installed to use our DSpace 7 REST API Demo as a backend. Therefore, you will be interacting with the content on that demo site and will need to use the login information for the demo site (see above)
- Install both the User Interface and REST API locally (bring your own test content). This is a fully manual local installation. Keep in mind this installation process is may still change slightly before the final 7.0 release.
Install via Docker
Running DSpace 7 via Docker allows you to quickly & easily install and start up all the "parts" of DSpace (database, Solr index, REST API, user interface) without having to install them all yourself. This will work on any operating system (Windows 10, Mac OS, or Linux).

If you are a visual person, a walkthrough of these Docker installation steps are also available in the recording of the DuraSpace Webinar "DSpace Docker for Repository Managers". Keep in mind, that video recording does not cover the steps to run the DSpace 7 Preview Release specifically (so you will need to still run step number ___ below). |
- First, install the necessary prerequisites. You will just need to install three things: Docker Desktop (to run Docker), Git Bash (to access our shared Docker compose files) and finally download those shared Docker compose files.
