Hello, I am starting up a free clinic in my area and we’re interested in using OpenMRS. I am working from a 2019 MacBook Pro with Ventura 13.4 and navigated to the following link for installation: Download. I tried the reference application 2.12 - both the standalone edition & advanced installation. To my understanding, the standalone edition is a demo version and the advanced installation is purposed for actual patient charting.
After having tried to install both, I found the instructions hard to follow. For example, I downloaded the standalone edition as a zip file. However, I’m not sure where to use the folder generated by the zip file. It seems like additional software is needed but I can’t seem to find it. It would be appreciated if you could share a video on installation for the “advanced installation” version or if we could connect over the phone to work through it.
Thank you Daniel. I’m going through the steps right now. Just had a quick question: on Download – OpenMRS.org, I see reference applications and platform ones. Both standalone editions say that they’re not intended for production use. I understand this to refer to it not being meant for recording actual patient info. Is this the case? If so, is there a “For Dummies” page on how to download Advanced Instillation of the reference application?
As I’m going through installation, I successfully downloaded the zip file, opened it & double-clicked on “openmrs-standalone.jar”. It said this was made by an unidentified developer & I’ve circumvented that by allowing the download in my “Privacy & Security” systems settings on my Mac. Although, after doing so & double clicking the jar file again, it doesn’t download.
I tried using pastebin.com & it would only allow me to paste in the same text that displays in the subfolders & their contents. I have two sub-folders under the tomcat\logs folder: conf and webapps. If screenshots are helpful, I’ve included the contents of each sub-folder below:
I’m using a 2019 MacBook Pro with Intel chip. I’m not sure if versions on Mac are different, but I’ve usually seen versions being listed as 8 or 13. Here is where I found “1.8.0_391” on my Mac:
I’m not that well-versed with development experience so apologies that I have to ask but what are you referring to when you say “terminal”? Also, I do see a jar file but it is only titled “openmrs-standalone.jar” - is this the right one to run?
I definitely can! Just to clarify, this will be on Wednesdays? I’m in Central Time & it seems like the Platform Team call will be at 9am for me & the coffee break at 5:30am. I can try to join on either. Thanks Daniel!
