   Open the Tomcat users file (e.g. /opt/tomcat/conf/tomcat-users.xml) in a text editor. Create a new user called admin with the roles admin,manager and manager-gui. This file should be protected so you will need to open it as root (e.g. sudo nano /opt/tomcat/conf/tomcat-users.xml)

   <user name="admin" password="XXXXXX" roles="tomcat,admin,manager,manager-gui"/>

   As a Debian package

   This is not recommended as it may install a version of Tomcat which is not compatible with OpenMRS.

3. Run the following command from a terminal

   sudo apt-get install

   tomcat6

   tomcat7

   Open the Tomcat users file (e.g. /etc/tomcat/tomcat-users.xml) in a text editor. Create a new user called admin with the roles admin,manager and manager-gui. This file should be protected so you will need to open it as root (e.g. sudo nano _/etc/tomcat/tomcat-users.xml_)

   <user name="admin" password="XXXXXX" roles="tomcat,admin,manager,manager-gui"/>

   Turn off tomcat security flag in /etc/init.d/

   tomcat7 file: Find "

   TOMCAT7_SECURITY=yes" and change it to "

   TOMCAT7_SECURITY=no"Create OpenMRS application data directory and make it writable by Tomcat: (so that the runtime properties file can be written by the webapp during initial startup)

   sudo mkdir /usr/share/tomcat6/.OpenMRS sudo chown -R

   Jetty as an alternative to Tomcat

   This is meant to run in a Linux environment.
4. Download the Jetty 7.4.5 tar.gz from here. Don't download 7.5.4; it may not recognize the jdk that you have installed.

   1. Unpack the tar file to your preferred directory (I usually use /usr/share/jetty)

      sudo mkdir /usr/share/jetty cd /usr/share/jetty sudo mv /pathtojetty/jetty-distribution-(version).tar.gz . sudo tar xfz jetty-distribution-(verstion).tar.gz sudo mv jetty-distribution-(version)/* . sudo rm rf jetty-distribution(version)

      Now to make it start when you start the system and make Jetty a service

      sudo cp bin/jetty.sh /etc/init.d/jetty

      Edit /etc/init.d/jetty to include the following two lines after the comments so Jetty knows where your Java and Jetty directories are.

      JAVA_HOME=(path to java) JETTY_HOME=/usr/share/jetty  //or where your jetty installation directory

      Jetty is now officially installed and can be run as a service. Now you can run Jetty by using the following command. First put the openmrs.war in to /usr/share/jetty/webapps/ so Jetty will know to run the war.

      sudo /etc/init.d/jetty start
