Simple Instructions:

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.
• Note: Be sure to unzip to a directory with no spaces in the folder names.

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

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

Detailed Instructions:

1. Root.war This is only the OpenEdit DAM ROOT.WAR file. Use this if you already have a web server or want to use something other than Caucho Resin.

• 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/

2. You will also need to install ImageMagick and GhostScript for image previews, file conversions and thumbnails.For ImageMagick we have tested with the  Q16 DLL version.

3. On Windows there is a conflict with the convert.exe file.  You will want to copy the ImageMagick convert.exe file and name it imconvert.exe within the same Image Magick folder.
