Downloading OpenDJ Quick install If you want only to try OpenDJ server software, and you do not plan to store any real or important data that you want to keep, then read only this chapter, or just try out installation without reading any further.

The OpenDJ QuickSetup wizard provides a graphical user interface for installing OpenDJ directory server. To begin installation, download OpenDJ-${docTargetVersion}.zip, unzip the file, and then run the setup command, opendj/setup (UNIX), opendj\setup.bat (Windows), or opendj/QuickSetup.app (Mac OS X). If your environment picks up an old installation of Java, installation can fail. You might see an application error due to an old Java version. If your default Java environment is not appropriate, set OPENDJ_JAVA_HOME to the path to the correct Java environment, or set OPENDJ_JAVA_BIN to the absolute path of the java command. The latter environment variable is useful for example if you have both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the Java environment installed, and want to make sure you use the 64-bit version. The QuickSetup wizard presents the following screens: Welcome: summarizes the setup process and indicates the minimum required Java version License: presents the license agreement to accept before installing OpenDJ software Server Settings: prompts for basic server settings including installation path, host name, port numbers, secure connections, and credentials for the directory superuser (default bind DN: cn=Directory Manager) Topology Options: prompts for data replication options including whether this server is part of a replication topology, and if so the port number and security settings for this server, as well as the connection settings for a remote replica if available Directory Data: allows you to import or to generate LDAP directory data as part of the setup process This screen also allows you to select the backend type for data storage. Runtime Options: allows you to adjust JVM settings as part of the setup process, for example to allow OpenDJ to use more memory if necessary Review: presents current selections so that you can check everything is correct before running setup, with the option to start OpenDJ directory server after setup completes Finished: summarizes how setup completed, with the option to launch the OpenDJ Control Panel shows the top-level window with status information. OpenDJ Control Panel helps to manage directory data, LDAP schema, indexes, monitoring, and JVM runtime options through a graphical user interface.

OpenDJ Control Panel offers basic administration capabilities.

The following example installs OpenDJ directory server files under C:\OpenDJ-${docTargetVersion}, writing an installation log file, install.log, in the current folder. C:\>msiexec /i OpenDJ-${docTargetVersion}.msi /l* install.log /q OPENDJ=C:\OpenDJ-${docTargetVersion} Start the installation. When installation is finished, OpenDJ directory server files are found in the location you specified as Destination Folder.
