Yes. Sites that don't want to alter DSpace shouldn't need to even *have* Maven or Ant: 0. install servlet container and DBMS if you don't already have them 1. cd DSPACE_HOME 2. unzip /path/to/DSPACE-CORE-PACKAGE 3. unzip /path/to/SOME-ADDON-PACKAGE ... 4. ./bin/dspace create-administrator 5. tell your servlet container to look in DSPACE_HOME/webapps/YOUR-CHOICE 6. login to the repo. as administrator and configure 7. kick the servlet container to restart the repo. (if necessary) Step 5 might include specifying the DBMS connection, since either that or the value of DSPACE_HOME will have to be provided to the webapp(s) from the outside. -- Mark H.
