Is there any OpenMRS developer, doing developments on Windows OS platform?

Development
21

https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/OpenMRS+SDK I used that one.

22

ok take me through the steps you completed here one by one

23

I have looked at the documentation and have been reading and implementing. Quite a number of tools need to be setup but I have found that there is more than one way of going about the setup.

24

Can we do a phone call, please @herbert24?

25

26

Thank you @herbert24. I appreciate the zoom call. The time is fine.

Hi everyone! I have been following the OpenMRS SDK - Documentation - OpenMRS Wiki to set up my dev environment. When I got to setting MAVEN_OPTS, I got this error here below.

Would anyone please help?

28

the correct command is mvn -v

Thanks for the reply @herbert24, I used the command mvn -v after installing maven and the result was successful. Now in the making sure maven has enough space after Please set the MAVEN_OPTS system property to " -Xmx768m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m ". I get the error above and even after using the command mvn -v this is what returned here below!

@herbert24, When I remove the MAVEN_OPTS from the environment variables, this is the result after I run mvn -v.

Lemi break this down in step for you:

   1.  Ensure you have mysql (versions stated in the above linkinstalled on yo machine.

   2.   Create a database (e.g testdb) under the mysql root user.

   3.  Then in your terminal run mvn openmrs-sdk:setup


   4.  Choose a server name or leave it to default.


    5.  Choose either distribution or platform


    And then follow the step for either distribution or platform by choosing the version you want (choose the latest).

    Choose the port or leave it at default
