This is quick installation guide using the executable WAR package built by Michael Vorburger.

  1. Set up folder and download Mifos
    1. Create a directory at the root-level of your local machine or on your web server. (i.e. C:/MifosInstall)
    2. Download Mifos: Save the Mifos download zip file to the folder you just created. Unzip or extract the contents of the folder here to Mifos Install. We're going to first install the other required software before installing Mifos.  
  2. Install and configure Java
    1. Before you do install a Java SDK, check to see if you have any previous versions of Java installed and uninstall them (unless you need them for something else) - either the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) or the JDK (Developers Kit)
    2. Download and install the Java SE JDK installer (JDK 6.0)
      1. Current version is JDK 6 Update 30 (as of Feb 5, 2012)
        1. Select x86 if you have a 32 bit Windows machine.
