OpenEdit open source Digital Asset Management

If you are a marketing firm, department, or a technical resource investigating open source digital asset management workflows for your organization, follow these easy steps to install OpenEdit digital asset management with web content management. Once it's installed it is ready to begin managing all of your assets and content:

Bundled Version: This is open source OpenEdit DAM bundled with the Resin Application Server

  • Windows: Unzip the file to your hard disk and execute httpd.exe to start the Resin webserver.
  • Linux/OSX: Unzip files to your hard disk, then execute the following from a terminal: "java -jar [resinDirectory]/lib/resin.jar". Replace "[resinDirectory]" with the actual path to the files you have unzipped.

Then browse to http://localhost:8080/. You will be prompted to choose a layout, and then guided into your new OpenEdit DAM system.

Or if you already have a web server or want to use something other than Caucho Resin, download the OpenEdit DAM Root.war file:

  • Download Root.war
  • Copy Root.war into your /webapps/ directory.
  • Start your Web Application Server. Root.war will be automatically extracted.
  • Browse to http://localhost:8080/

You will also need to install ImageMagick and GhostScript for image previews, file conversions and thumbnails when installing either the OpenEdit bundled version or the OpenEdit DAM Root.war file.

If you are not already running JAVA, you will need to download it here.
