Installation of OpenMRS

Hello everyone,

I am new to the OpenMRS and just recently joined the community. I am very interested in the use of OpenMRS and would like to have some hands on it with a Project of developing a Health Information Management System for a hospital in PNG. How do I start with the Installation process and what other IDEs are needed to run OpenMRS.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Hey @bhaindapa there are mulitple ways of installing OpenMRS that is determined by your Usecase and definitely infra but for basics you can start at https://openmrs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/docs/pages/25477672/Prerequisites+setup

also for implementation see https://openmrs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/docs/pages/25470841/Implementer+Documentation

Thank you so much@martyn for the reply and direction.

I really appreciate the reply. I will go through the link and see if I can set it up.

I will still reach out should I have difficulties as well. I already have Java 8 installed on my laptop as well

Yes Java 8 will work for older versions but if you need the latest versions you may need to upgrade to Java 17 or 21

Ok that is noted. Thank you
