What to install before the workshop

If your computer has at least 10 GB of hard disk space free and at least 3 GB of RAM, it's recommended to download and install the following:

Install VirtualBox: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

and Vagrant: http://downloads.vagrantup.com/


This allows you to use a virtual machine at the workshop that already has everything set up. Otherwise, you'll need to perform a manual installation. The manual installation guide can be found here: https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Getting+Started+as+a+Developer, but will be covered in more depth at the workshop.

Getting OpenMRS up and running on your computer

Steps:

  • Have git installed.
  • Manual setup (clone the code from GitHub) OR VM setup (follow VM instructions).
  • Compile the code.
  • Go through the web app set up process.
  • You should have a running local version of OpenMRS on your machine!
  • If you want to get a feel for how one would fix a bug in the code, GOTO "OpenMRS bug walkthrough." If you want to fix an actual bug in the code, GOTO "new beginner tasks."
