I started with the openmrs-core git repository but realized quickly that I had to install modules as well, and it appears that a lot of hard work has been done by the community on the reference application in making sure module dependencies are fulfilled and work appropriately.
I switched to openmrs-distro-referenceapplication and built using maven. I have both JDK 1.7 and 1.8 installed on my machine and can use either.
I have the application up and running but it has the older UI? I was hoping to have the one shown at demo.openmrs.org/openmrs (see screenshot/all data is test or de-identified)

Thanks, but it is essential that I’m able to “hack” the pages (whether JSP or some other framework). If through midnight commander or building them myself, this is a requirement for my use case.
I have to be able to show I can integrate with our PHM system (although very minimally) at the patient level (essentially show SSO capabilities from OpenEMR patient chart => our patient chart)
The instructions are complicated, but you have to copy the modules, *.omod, files, built by the distro-referenceapplication, and place in the modules folder of your running OpenMRS instance.
Anythings possible, but generally I have that disabled through Developer Tools on Google Chrome on my work laptop since I do a lot of front-end UI work. Thanks for the reply.
