• The DSpace Frontend consists of a User Interface built on Angular.io.  It cannot be run alone, as it requires a valid DSpace Backend to function.  The frontend provides all user-facing functionality
• The DSpace Backend consists of a Server API ("server" webapp), built on Spring Boot.  It can be run standalone, however it has no user interface.  The backend provides all machine-based interfaces, including the REST API, OAI-PMH, SWORD (v1 and v2) and RDF.

We recommend installing the Backend first, as the Frontend requires a valid Backend to run properly.
