[echo] ====================================================================

[echo] The DSpace code has been installed, and the database initialized.

[echo]

[echo] To complete installation, you should do the following:

[echo]

[echo] * Setup your Web servlet container (e.g. Tomcat) to look for your

[echo] DSpace web applications in: /dspace/webapps/

[echo]

[echo] OR, copy any web applications from /dspace/webapps/ to

[echo] the appropriate place for your servlet container.

[echo] (e.g. ‘$CATALINA_HOME/webapps’ for Tomcat)

[echo]

[echo] * Make an initial administrator account (an e-person) in DSpace:

[echo]

[echo] /dspace/bin/dspace create-administrator

[echo]

[echo] * Start up your servlet container (Tomcat etc.)

[echo]

[echo] You should then be able to access your DSpace’s ‘home page’:

[echo]

[echo] http://localhost:8080/xmlui

[echo]

[echo] You should also be able to access the administrator UI:

[echo]

[echo] http://localhost:8080/xmlui/dspace-admin
