Can you provide the following details?

What Java version is installed on your PC?
How did you try to run the application?
Are you seeing any errors?

Can you also share the log files in the following locations?

referenceapplication-standalone-2.12.2/appdata/openmrs.log
referenceapplication-standalone-2.12.2/tomcat/logs/

Make sure u have maven in you PC it may be a case but bring out the error log so as people can see the specific problem

Could you give it a try with Java 8? I don’t think Standalone supports Java 21. You can download Java 8 from here: Java Archive Downloads - Java SE 8

Users don’t need to have Maven installed to run the standalone.

katoelvis · June 17, 2024, 5:43am

Could you please open your command line in the folder containing OpenMRS and run the following commands?

java -version

java -jar openmrs-standalone.jar

Share the output with us after running these commands.

Can you run the dir command to make sure that you are in the correct folder?

katoelvis · June 18, 2024, 9:06am

May be I did not get your question clearly but when I run the dir command, this is what I got

You need to open the command line from within the OpenMRS standalone directory. Follow these steps:

Open the OpenMRS reference application standalone folder using your file manager.
Hold the Shift key and right-click in an empty area of the folder

Select Open in Terminal from the context menu.
In the terminal, run the following command:

java -jar openmrs-standalone.jar

This should start the OpenMRS application, If there are any problems please share the output from the terminal by copying and pasting it to here: https://pastebin.com/

C:\Users\Admin>java -jar openmrs-standalone.jar Error: Unable to access jarfile openmrs-standalone.jar

wikumc · June 19, 2024, 8:20am

Did you follow my instructions? It looks like you are not trying to run the command in the openmrs standalone folder.
