About the composition of this project

Dspace consists of several parts. First of all it is

• Dspace backend (this repo)
• Dspace frontend

Both of those parts have installation and usage manual in this wiki in Installation

Then there is Python REST API. It can be used for data import to running dspace, tests and in general any interaction with running DSpace instance. It uses DSpace Python REST Client Library created for Vanilla DSpace.

Extensive instructions are written in README of that project. However, short instructions for import follow:

• update const.py and import_db_const.py with proper paths, passwords etc.
• manually copy assetstore folder into new dspace installation under <docker-installation-folder>\assetstore (usually /dspace/assetstore).
• use docker build -t dspace_import . && docker run --name dspacedataimport dspace_import to run data pump.
