My Journey with OpenMRS: Setting Up OpenMRS SDK

Hey OpenMRS Community! :waving_hand:

I’m excited to share my latest contribution to the OpenMRS Wiki—a beginner-friendly guide on Setting Up OpenMRS SDK on Windows! :tada:

When I first started contributing to OpenMRS, setting up the SDK was a bit tricky, especially on Windows. So, I decided to document my experience in a structured and easy-to-follow way to help future contributors get started smoothly.

:pushpin: What’s Covered? :white_check_mark: Step-by-step SDK installation on Windows

I hope this helps new contributors dive into OpenMRS with confidence! If you have any feedback, suggestions, or improvements, feel free to drop a comment. Let’s make onboarding easier for everyone!

Also, as I prepare my application for GSoC 2025, I’d love to connect with fellow contributors and mentors. Looking forward to collaborating and contributing more to OpenMRS!

Cheers, Deepak Jain :rocket:
