:warning: **Work on DSpace 7 has begun on our `master` branch.** This means that there is temporarily NO user interface on this `master` branch. DSpace 7 will feature a new, unified [Angular](https://angular.io/) user interface, along with an enhanced, rebuilt REST API. The latest status of this work can be found on the [DSpace 7 UI Working Group](https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+7+UI+Working+Group) page. Additionally, the codebases can be found in the following places:
* DSpace 7 REST API work is occurring on the [`master` branch](https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/tree/master/dspace-server-webapp) of this repository.
* The REST Contract is being documented at https://github.com/DSpace/Rest7Contract
* DSpace 7 Angular UI work is occurring at https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular
**If you would like to get involved in our DSpace 7 development effort, we welcome new contributors.** Just join one of our meetings or get in touch via Slack. See the [DSpace 7 UI Working Group](https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+7+UI+Working+Group) wiki page for more info.
**If you are looking for the ongoing maintenance work for DSpace 6 (or prior releases)**, you can find that work on the corresponding maintenance branch (e.g. [`dspace-6_x`](https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/tree/dspace-6_x)) in this repository.

## Downloads
The latest release of DSpace can be downloaded from the [DSpace website](http://www.dspace.org/latest-release/) or from [GitHub](https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/releases).
Past releases are all available via GitHub at https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/releases
## Documentation / Installation
Documentation for each release may be viewed online or downloaded via our [Documentation Wiki](https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC/).
The latest DSpace Installation instructions are available at:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC6x/Installing+DSpace
Please be aware that, as a Java web application, DSpace requires a database (PostgreSQL or Oracle)
and a servlet container (usually Tomcat) in order to function.
More information about these and all other prerequisites can be found in the Installation instructions above.
## Running DSpace 7 in Docker
See [Running DSpace 7 with Docker Compose](dspace/src/main/docker-compose/README.md)
## Contributing
DSpace is a community built and supported project. We do not have a centralized development or support team,
but have a dedicated group of volunteers who help us improve the software, documentation, resources, etc.
We welcome contributions of any type. Here's a few basic guides that provide suggestions for contributing to DSpace:
* [How to Contribute to DSpace](https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/How+to+Contribute+to+DSpace): How to contribute in general (via code, documentation, bug reports, expertise, etc)
* [Code Contribution Guidelines](https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Code+Contribution+Guidelines): How to give back code or contribute features, bug fixes, etc.
* [DSpace Community Advisory Team (DCAT)](https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/cmtygp/DSpace+Community+Advisory+Team): If you are not a developer, we also have an interest group specifically for repository managers. The DCAT group meets virtually, once a month, and sends open invitations to join their meetings via the [DCAT mailing list](https://groups.google.com/d/forum/DSpaceCommunityAdvisoryTeam).
We also encourage GitHub Pull Requests (PRs) at any time. Please see our [Development with Git](https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Development+with+Git) guide for more info.
In addition, a listing of all known contributors to DSpace software can be
found online at: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpaceContributors

## Testing
### Running Tests
By default, in DSpace, Unit Tests and Integration Tests are disabled. However, they are
run automatically by [Travis CI](https://travis-ci.org/DSpace/DSpace/) for all Pull Requests and code commits.
* How to run both Unit Tests (via `maven-surefire-plugin`) and Integration Tests (via `maven-failsafe-plugin`):
```
# NOTE: while "mvn test" runs Unit Tests,
# Integration Tests only run for "verify" or "install" phases
mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=false -DskipITs=false
```
* How to run just Unit Tests:
```
mvn clean test -Dmaven.test.skip=false
```
* How to run a *single* Unit Test
```
# Run all tests in a specific test class
# NOTE: testClassName is just the class name, do not include package
mvn clean test -Dmaven.test.skip=false -Dtest=[testClassName]
# Run one test method in a specific test class
mvn clean test -Dmaven.test.skip=false -Dtest=[testClassName]#[testMethodName]
```
* How to run Integration Tests (requires running Unit tests too)
```
mvn clean verify -Dmaven.test.skip=false -DskipITs=false
```
* How to run a *single* Integration Test (requires running Unit tests too)
```
# Run all integration tests in a specific test class
# NOTE: Integration Tests only run for "verify" or "install" phases
# NOTE: testClassName is just the class name, do not include package
mvn clean verify -Dmaven.test.skip=false -DskipITs=false -Dit.test=[testClassName]
# Run one test method in a specific test class
mvn clean verify -Dmaven.test.skip=false -DskipITs=false -Dit.test=[testClassName]#[testMethodName]
```
* How to run only tests of a specific DSpace module
```
# Before you can run only one module's tests, other modules may need installing into your ~/.m2
cd [dspace-src]
mvn clean install
# Then, move into a module subdirectory, and run the test command
cd [dspace-src]/dspace-server-webapp
# Choose your test command from the lists above
```
