Installing DSpace 8 Backend and REST API: Step-by-Step Tutorial

In this hands-on video tutorial, we’ll learn how to download and install the DSpace 8 backend and REST API on Ubuntu 22.04. Starting with updating and upgrading the system, I’ll guide you through every step to connect the backend with the frontend.

I have installed and configured all prerequisites and required packages, including OpenJDK 17, Apache Ant 1.10, Apache Maven 3.9.9, PostgreSQL 16 with the pgcrypto extension for secure encryption, Apache Solr 8.11, and Tomcat 10.1.28.

Since DSpace 8 no longer supports Java 11 or Tomcat 9, this tutorial ensures you meet the latest requirements. You’ll learn how to set up the DSpace database, configure directories, build the DSpace source files, and integrate Solr with DSpace. Finally, we’ll cover how to start the services, create an administrator account, and run Yarn to connect the frontend.

Perfect for anyone looking to install DSpace 8 efficiently, this tutorial will help you get everything up and running smoothly!

With your guidance, I was able to successfully install DSpace CRIS 7.4. However, I have encountered the following issues during the customization process:

1. Researcher Profile Error: An error appears when attempting to create a researcher profile.
2. Entity Drop-Down Arrow: The drop-down arrow for entities is not displaying correctly.
3. Background Image Issue: Despite replacing the default background image with my preferred image, the changes do not take effect.

Any assistance in resolving these issues would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I installed Dspace8 but the menu does not appear when I log in. And accepting the user agreement does not remove it either. It seems like an interface problem. Any suggestions?
