Hi Akinyi, DSpace is a web-based application, so in order to run it, you'll have to install it alongside a database and web server.
The installation instructions are available online at: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC18/Installation In addition, since you are new to DSpace, you may wish to read through the DSpace system manual in general. It's available online at: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC18/DSpace+1.8+Documentation There should also be a README in the main folder that you unzipped which links you to the PDF version of this manual which should be under the follow folder: dspace/docs/DSpace-Manual.pdf - Tim On 6/4/2012 10:36 AM, Akinyi Ochieng wrote: > Hello, > > I just downloaded DSpace 1.8.2. on my HP computer which runs Microsoft > Windows XP Version 2002.
