Tutorial: How to Install ResourceSpace on Windows 11

ResourceSpace is an open source digital asset management (DAM) system that can help you organize and manage your digital assets such as images, videos, and documents. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install ResourceSpace on a Windows 11 machine.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

• An internet connection
• A Windows 11 machine
• The latest version of XAMPP installed on your machine

Step 1 - Download ResourceSpace

Head over to the ResourceSpace website and download the latest version of ResourceSpace.

Step 2 - Extract the Files

Navigate to your downloads folder and extract the ResourceSpace files to your C:\xampp\htdocs directory.

Step 3 - Create a MySQL Database

Next, we need to create a MySQL database for ResourceSpace to use. Open the XAMPP control panel and start the MySQL service.

Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/phpmyadmin. Click on the "Databases" tab and create a new database for ResourceSpace.

Note down the database name, username, and password as we will need them later.

Step 4 - Configure ResourceSpace

Navigate to the C:\xampp\htdocs\resourcespace\include directory and locate the config.default.php file. Rename this file to config.php.

Open the config.php file in a text editor and update the database credentials with the ones you noted down earlier.

Step 5 - Final Setup

Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/resourcespace/pages/setup/index.php. Follow the instructions on the screen and fill out the necessary information.

Once the setup process is complete, ResourceSpace should be fully installed and ready to use.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed ResourceSpace on your Windows 11 machine. From here, you can start uploading and managing your digital assets using ResourceSpace.
