I'd just like to add that we recommend Linux for any production server. If
you just want to run DHIS2 locally, the easiest option is DHIS Live, which
does not require the DHIS2_HOME environment variable. This makes it easy to
run multiple instances of DHIS Live on different ports on my laptop. The
hibernate.properties file is exactly the same in all cases (Tomcat, Live,
Linux).
