My recommendation is for you to setup a Reference Application server using the SDK [https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/OpenMRS+SDK](https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/OpenMRS+SDK) It is the easiest way to setup, customize and run different environments that you need ---

> [@ddmaker](#): > > Larry thanks,I request you to try again and send me that link.I’ve tryed to look around but i have made no progress. Sorry I did not reply sooner. Been really busy. Am glad you finally fixed your issue. But just out of curiosity, did you not see the link to User Interface Modules on the page that says “Platform 2.0 is running”? It was suppose to be there or was it changed? ---

yes I try many times first I try to install [User Interface Modules - Documentation - OpenMRS Wiki](https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/User+Interface+Modules) from showing in openmrs/index.html but it did not work after that I try Openmrs Sdk for solving the installation issues but I again failed I think in this we need proper installation Documation. ---

oo! It would do better if you shared the logs. am sure you found errors at each step! Can you provide specs of your system? ---

I currently use Ubuntu version 22.04 kernel and I used IntelliJ IDEA to the run Openmrs project because it makes more essayer as compared to eclipse.
