Hi @mikejg,

Get the latest version of the legacyui module from the OpenMRS Module Repository Go to OpenMRS Add Ons download the latest version.

Install the module After the download completes, copy the .omod file (legacyui-{versionNumber}.omod) into the modules directory of your OpenMRS app data folder (e.g. ${HOME}./OpenMRS/modules) or (Windows + R > %appdata%>OpenMRS>Modules).

Restart OpenMRS You can do this by either stopping and starting openmrs from tomcat manager page or just restarting tomcat.

You can find more information on this link.
