Tim Donohue updated DS-802:
---------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 1.8.0)
post-1.8.0
> Create a DSpace "Installer" which doesn't require users to build DSpace using
> Maven and Ant
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: DS-802
> URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-802
> Project: DSpace
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: DSpace API
> Reporter: Tim Donohue
> Assignee: Tim Donohue
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: post-1.8.0
>
>
> This issue is a placeholder for work that I've already begun, and will be
> sharing via our Central SVN as soon as I get a "semi-working" version ready
> (likely within a few days/week at most).
> The idea is to remove the requirement for all users to build DSpace via Maven
> or Ant. It should be possible to download a simple "installer" which can be
> run to more automate the install process of DSpace on a server.
> The primary goals are as follows:
> * Remove the required prerequisites of Maven & Ant to Install DSpace
> (However, it should be noted that it would still be possible to build from
> source via Maven, for users/developers who want more control over the build
> or install process.)
> * Allow users to be able to install DSpace without requiring an internet
> connection (i.e. all third-party libraries will be "shipped" with the
> installer)
> * Provide an easier to manage, step-by-step, automated install process. E.g.
> Fill out the main areas of the config file (dspace.cfg) for the user, as they
> answer a series of questions (e.g. the dspace.dir and database settings,
> minimally)
> As mentioned, I've already begun playing with this idea. I'm currently
> building a simple One-JAR (http://one-jar.sourceforge.net/) installer, which
> will automate the install process for users. This is similar to Fedora
> Commons, whose main fcrepo-installer.jar file
> (http://www.fedora-commons.org/software/current) is built via One-JAR. Using
> One-JAR, a DSpace User could install DSpace more easily as follows:
> (1) Install prerequisites: Java, database and web server (although we could
> offer an option to auto-install Tomcat, like Fedora Commons does)
> (2) Download the 'dspace-installer.jar'
> (3) Run 'java -jar dspace-installer.jar' and follow the instructions and
> answer questions to install DSpace.
> I'm also playing with the idea of potentially upgrading DSpace in the same
> manner. The biggest issue here though is upgrading customizations, etc.
> Much more work/analysis needs to happen around the problem of making
> customizations easier, and how that may or may not fit into making installs
> easier as well.
