Install the Compile / Build tools
sudo apt-get install ant maven2
Create the database user and db
sudo su postgres createuser -U postgres -d -A -P dspace exit # Edit pg_hba.conf to allow the dspace user to login sudo vi /etc/postgresql/8.4/main/pg_hba.conf # Add the following line: local all dspace md5 sudo service postgresql restart createdb \-U dspace \-E UNICODE dspace
Configure Tomcat to know about the DSpace webapps.
sudo vi /etc/tomcat6/server.xml # Insert the following chunk of text just above the closing </Host> <!-- Define a new context path for all DSpace web apps --> <Context path="/xmlui" docBase="/dspace/webapps/xmlui" allowLinking="true"/> <Context path="/sword" docBase="/dspace/webapps/sword" allowLinking="true"/> <Context path="/oai" docBase="/dspace/webapps/oai" allowLinking="true"/> <Context path="/jspui" docBase="/dspace/webapps/jspui" allowLinking="true"/> <Context path="/lni" docBase="/dspace/webapps/lni" allowLinking="true"/> <Context path="/solr" docBase="/dspace/webapps/solr" allowLinking="true"/>
