Solution: Add C:\dspace\bin to your PATH. Also ensure C:\dspace\config\local.cfg exists.
Before touching DSpace code, the Windows 10 environment must be prepared.
Required Software:
cd DSpace
mvn clean package -Dmirage2.on=true
Wait 5–10 minutes (first build downloads internet).
From DSpace tools:
cd C:\dspace\bin
dspace solr-start
Or use a separate Solr instance pointed to C:\dspace\solr.
npm start
Wait – it compiles. Then open: http://localhost:4000 dspace 7 installation on windows 10
🎉 You should see the DSpace 7 login page.
