Step-3 (Environment Variable)
For Windows 7
ļ‚— Right click ā€œMy Computerā€ Click ā€œPropertiesā€ Click on ā€œAdvanced

Step-8
ļ‚— This step we will perform actual installation of dspace.
ļ‚— Before doing this create an empty directory in C: drive, where actual
configuration, program files and data files of dspace will reside.
ļ‚— In our case we will be using ā€œC:\dspaceā€
ļ‚— Extract all the contents of ā€˜dspace-5.1-src-release.zip’ to one folder (i.e. dspace)
and copy entire folder to your C:\ drive as C:\ dspace\dspace-5.1-src-release
ļ‚— Once the files are unzipped, go to
ā€œC:\dspace\dspace-5.1-src-release\ā€,
ļ‚— Find out ā€œbuildā€ and open in notepad or any other editor and at least change the
following parameters. Use forward slashes `/` for path separators
Changes to be made in build.properties
Once you have edited dspace configuration file open the command prompt and go
to ā€œC:\ dspace\dspace-5.1-src-release \dspaceā€ folder
ā€œcd C:\dspace\dspace-5.1-src-release\ā€
Now type ā€œmvn packageā€ and press enter
ā€œC:\dspace\dspace-5.1-src-release\> mvn packageā€
Note: Please note that internet connection is required to perform this operation,
Maven will download dspace source dependencies online.
Now go to ā€œc:\dspace\dspace-5.1-src-release\dspace\target\dspace-installerā€ on
command prompt
ā€œcd c:\dspace\dspace-5.1-src-release\dspace\target\dspace-installerā€
Now type ā€œant fresh_installā€ and press enter
c:\dspace\dspace-5.1-src-release\dspace\target\dspace-installer >ant
fresh_install

Step-9 Create Administrator
ļ‚— Now it is time to create default system administrator. To create
administrator execute following command
ā€œC:\dspace\bin\dspace create-administratorā€
ļ‚— Using your explorer browse through your C:\dspace\webapps folder
ļ‚— Copy ā€œjspuiā€ and ā€œxmluiā€ folder to your tomcat
installation’s webapps folder

Step-10
ļ‚— Start tomcat service if it is already not running by going in
to :
Control Panel  Administrative Tools  Services
Apache Tomcat 7 and clicking on ā€œStartā€
ļ‚— Point your browser to
http://localhost:8080/jspui
or
http://localhost:8080/xmlui
