cd /build

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/dspace/fil es/DSpace%20Stable/1.8.0/dspace-1.8.0-src-release.tar.bz2
tar -xvjf dspace-1.8.0-src-release.tar.bz2

cd /build/dspace-1.8.0-src-release

mvn -U package
cd dspace/target/dspace-1.8.0-build

sudo ant fresh_install

Fix Tomcat permissions, and restart the Tomcat server

sudo chown tomcat6:tomcat6 /dspace -R

That is all that is required to install DSpace on Ubuntu. There are two main webapps that provide a similar turn-key repository interface
http://localhost:8080/xmlui
http://localhost:8080/jspui
