These instructions will help you install OpenMRS Reference Application 2.x.

...

The OpenMRS Reference Application 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.
     

  2. Java. You must have Java Runtime Environment or Java Development Kit 1.8. If you don't have Java 8 installed, follow these instructions for Oracle's Java (recommended).

Info

Verify you have Java 1.8+ installed by opening a terminal and typing the command:

Code Block
java -v

Tip

If you are using more than one version of Java on your machine, consider using jenv, a handy utility for managing and easily switching between java versions.

If you are a Windows user you can follow these instructions here to find out which versions of Java are installed on your computer.

1. Download the OpenMRS Standalone

Go to http://openmrs.org/download/ and download the most recent version – e.g., “Reference  “Reference Application 2.6.1 Standalone Edition”.

...

You should be able to start the OpenMRS Standalone by double-clicking on the openmrs-standalone.jar file.

Alternatively, from the command line, navigate to the folder containing the openmrs-standalone.jar file and you can start OpenMRS with the command:

Code Block
java -jar openmrs-standalone.jar

See the OpenMRS Standalone page for more details on optional command line parameters.
