Re: Setting up a computer as a server

 

Hi Stephen,
There are many different ways to setup DHIS2 depending on your exact
requirements. You will need to install a database system.  There are
two possible choices for a multi-user environment, either Postgresql
or MySQL. I would recommend to go with Postgresql unless you have a
reason not too. You will need to ensure the latest copy of Java is
installed on both computers.

You can read more about the process in the user manual

You can also try an experimental installer, which will install Java,
Postgresql, and an empty database for DHIS2 available here

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Regards,
Jason
