Step-by-step guide

Installation instructions - the For Dummies version

Requirements

The OpenMRS standalone requires your system to have a few basic things:

1.     A web browser

Download and install Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome. OpenMRS works fine on Safari, but we wouldn’t recommend that you use Internet Explorer.

...

The OpenMRS standalone runs on an older version of Java --- Java 1.7 (yes, we have to go a bit back in time). So go ahead and install JDK 1.7 on your computer

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html

Remember where you’ve installed it!

...

If you are a Windows user you can follow the instructions here to find out which versions of Java are installed on your computer: https://java.com/en/download/help/version_manual.xml

Verify that Java 1.7 is indeed installed on your computer.

3.     Download the OpenMRS standalone

Go to: http://openmrs.org/download/

And download the most recent version – “Reference Application 2.4 Standalone Edition”

...

 

On a Windows system, to set JAVA_HOME:

a. Right click My Computer and select Properties.

b.    On the Advanced tab, select Environment Variables, and then edit JAVA_HOME to point to where the JDK software is located, for example, C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_02.


Now that JAVA_HOME is set, you can run the OpenMRS standalone.
