Step-by-step guide

Install Java

(step 1)
(step 2)In your web browser, go to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html.
NOTE: For every "Java SE 7u##" in this section, the "##" represents two numbers that indicate the latest update to version 7 of Java. This is what you will see on the Java webpage.
Scroll down slightly, to the section labeled Java SE 7u##.
To the right, under JDK, click the button labeled DOWNLOAD.
In the box labeled Java SE Development Kit 7u##, Oracle requires that you read the license agreement, then click the button labeled Accept License Agreement.
Click the link to download the appropriate version of Java for your operating system:
1. If you are running 64-bit Windows 7 (most likely), on the row where the Product / File Description says Windows x64, click the link jdk-7u##-windows-x64.exe.
2. If you are running 32-bit Windows 7, on the row where the Product / File Description says Windows x86, click the link jdk-7u##-windows-i586.exe.
Run the Java installation file.

additional documentation needed in this section:

we would prefer to have Mifos X user uninstall any other versions of Java
1. it is much harder to clearly document Mifos X installation with 2+ Java versions
2. a clean installation of Java will reduce the potential for Mifos X installation problems
need more detail under "Run the Java installation file"

Install MySQL

...

Launch Mifos X

(questions and comments for Mifos X documentation team)

(possible improvements to this guide)

accommodate other operating systems
- Windows 8
- previous versions of Windows?
- Linux
- Mac
add confirmation sub-step for each major step, if possible
add explanation of how to get help via mifos-users mailing list
add brief explanation of each technology Mifos X depends on (e.g. MySQL = database server)
under "Install Java"
- can we direct users straight to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html?
