Hi Roger,

There is still some consolidation of the relevant information needed, but
for a Linux server we have quite a bit of information starting on page 7 of
the (latest build of the) documentation:
http://dhis.uio.no/ci/job/Dhis2%20documentation/

In general, if you already have Tomcat and a database engine (Postgres or
Mysql) installed, it boils down a few steps:

1) Put the war file in tomcat/webapps
2) Create an environment variable called DHIS2_HOME set equal to the path to
your configuration folder (placed anywhere you like).
3) Create a file called hibernate.properties in the configuration folder,
pointing to your database. The manual has the settings for Postgres, for
Mysql it should be along these lines:
http://208.76.222.114/confluence/display/DOC/MySQL#MySQL-PrepareMySQLforDHIS2

When it comes to loading facilities I first recommend tools like PgAdmin or
Toad. You first have to populate the Source table with facility primary
keys, and then start with the top of the hierarchy (e.g. the country, then
provinces, then districts, facilities) to ensure the foreign keys have
references in the organisationunit table.
