How To Install OpenDS
|
=====================
|
|
If you are reading this page, you have already downloaded and unzipped an OpenDS build.
|
|
You can install OpenDS in two modes:
|
|
* Graphical User Interface (GUI) mode. The GUI mode uses QuickSetup, a Java-based graphical tool
|
that enables you to install and configure an OpenDS directory server, load it with data and get
|
it running in very little time.
|
* Interactive Command-line mode. The interactive command-line utility prompts you for required
|
information before the installation and configuration begin.
|
|
Before You Install
|
------------------
|
A Java SE 5.0 (version 1.5.0_08) or higher runtime environment must be installed. It is
|
recommended that your system have at least 100MB of disk space and 256MB of free memory to run
|
OpenDS for evaluation purposes. Note that you can configure OpenDS in such a way that it requires
|
substantially less, or more, disk space. For more information, see the OpenDS System Requirements
|
at https://www.opends.org/wiki/page/OpenDSSystemRequirements.
|
|
To Install OpenDS in GUI mode
|
-----------------------------
|
You can run QuickSetup remotely via Java Web Start, or locally from within the build that you
|
have downloaded and unzipped.
|
|
If you run QuickSetup remotely, it automatically downloads and unzips the latest weekly build,
|
and handles server configuration. To launch QuickSetup via Java Web Start, point your
|
browser to http://opends.org/install/QuickSetup.jnlp.
|
|
To run QuickSetup locally:
|
|
1. From the top level of your installation directory, type the following command:
|
(Unix, Linux) setup (Windows) setup.bat
|
2. On Mac systems, double-click on the QuickSetup.app application to launch QuickSetup
|
directly from the Finder.
|
3. Answer the questions in the installation wizard.
|
|
To Install OpenDS in Command-Line Mode

|
1. From the top level of your installation directory, type the following command:
|
(Unix, Linux) setup --cli (Windows) setup.bat --cli
|
2. Follow the prompts to provide the required installation information.
