Hi Charlene,

That RedHat guide is useful for where to put standard system libraries or
local variants, for when the server is likely to be shared among many uses.

Two definitions to keep track of: [dspace] "the compiled version" and
[dspace-source] "the source version".

For development, on OSX, I use:
[dspace-source] = /Users/peterdietz/Projects/peterDSpace
[dspace] = /dspace

See: https://wiki.duraspace.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=55904164



For production:
We actually have a build server that holds all of the source, which then
gets copied to the individual application servers (we host many instances
and have many servers), but essentially it looks like:
[dspace-source] = /home/site-name/source
[dspace] = /home/site-name/

Another layout you could use if you only have one instance of DSpace is:
[dspace-source] = /dspace-source
[dspace] = /dspace


There are a dozen or so install guides contributed by various users, which
might be helpful. https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Installation
Note: These are unofficial guides.
