How To Install OpenDJ
If you are reading this page, you have already downloaded and unzipped
an OpenDJ build.
You can install OpenDJ 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
OpenDJ 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 6.0 (version 1.6.0_10) 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 OpenDJ for evaluation purposes. Note that
you can configure OpenDJ in such a way that it requires substantially
less, or more, disk space. For more information, see the
OpenDJ System Requirements.
To Install OpenDJ 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 run QuickSetup locally:
