How to Install DHIS-2 on Any Windows Computer using

the installer

Installing District Health Information System 2 (DHIS2) on any Windows computer is a

simple process that will not take more than 10-15 minutes. All you need is a CD with the
installer on it or download it from here.

DHIS 2 Live
This package is extremely easy to install and convenient as it contains everything you need in
order to run DHIS 2, including GIS, reporting and charting. It is based on an embedded Jetty
servlet container and an embedded H2 database. Simply unpack the archive, run the
executable file and you are good to go. For production use we recommend that you use
PostgreSQL as DBMS. Login on the empty database is admin / district.

WAR file
The WAR file requires you to install a Java servlet container (like Tomcat or Jetty) and a
relational database (PostgreSQL, MySQL and H2 are supported), and is recommended for
server setups and environments with high volumes of data and traffic. The latest version is
maintained with bug-fixes and minor improvements. You can always get the latest stable
release at stable.dhis2.org. Check out the installation guide for Ubuntu Linux here. For the
bleeding edge build check out the continuous integration server. WAR files are copied from
our continuous integration server where you can find revision number and build time.

Java mobile client

The DHIS 2 mobile clients runs on Java enabled mobile phones. The solution relies on an
available data connection also known as GPRS, Edge or 3G, over which it communicates with
a DHIS 2 server instance being publicly available on the internet.
There are two separate client applications available: the facility reporter and the program
tracker. The facility reporting client is for regular data reporting from a facility, while the
program tracker is designed for following up and reporting on individual program service
deliveries to beneficiaries, as part of the name-based component of DHIS2.

Sample data
When setting up your system it is useful to have access to a database with sample data. This
database contains data from the DHIS 2 implementation in Sierra Leone. Note that the H2
database file needs write privileges on any OS. The PostgreSQL file must be unzipped and
can be imported through pgAdmin restore function or with psql -d dbname -U username -f

Individual data records

DHIS 2 enables you to collect, manage and analyse transactional, case-based data records. It

and visualize your geographical data aspects using the GIS functionality.
DHIS 2 analytics is so easy to use that anyone can take advantage of it. The system is based
on simple and intuitive principles and enables you to create analysis from live data in seconds.
DHIS 2 is completely web-based, making it simple to share your analysis with colleagues.

On premise or in the cloud

DHIS 2 is open source software and can be installed at your servers and used for free. The
installation process is documented here. You can also go for a professionally managed DHIS 2
instance in the cloud. A managed DHIS 2 instance takes care of the backup, security,
monitoring and high-speed connectivity aspects of the deployment and allows you to focus on
the information system itself.

Open source
DHIS 2 is free and open source software released under the liberal BSD license. It is
developed in Java and runs on any platform with a JRE 8 installed. DHIS 2 is web-based and
follows HTML 5 standards. You can download the WAR file and drop it into a Web container
like Tomcat. Or download the Live package and simply click the executable file.

Internationalized
The DHIS 2 user interface comes fully translated into 8 languages. In addition DHIS 2 lets
you translate your database content into as many languages as you like. Each user can easily
switch between languages on the fly. If you need to translate the user interface into a new
language that's easy, too.

Highly scalable
With DHIS 2 you can have thousands of concurrent users and hundreds of millions of data
records using only a single, standard web-server. It lets you analyse and explore your data and
get answers within tenths of a second. DHIS 2 is being used as national health information
systems in a large number of countries and has thousands of days in production leading up to
a high-performing and mature system.

Interoperability
DHIS 2 comes with great capabilities for system interoperability and features its own format
for meta-data and data exchange called DXF 2 as well as the ADX standard. Most parts of the
system can be accessed through the extensive REST-based Web API, making interoperability
with third-party clients like Android apps, Web portals and other information systems easy.
You can even set up scheduled integration jobs in order to periodically synchronize with or
import data from other sources.

Insert the installer CD in the CD drive

On doing so you would get this window popping up on your screen, press any key (spacebar
works fine) and go to next step

If you do not get the popup window, press and hold the windows key (the key marked with
the windows logo on your keyboard) and press "E". This will open up a windows explorer
window with four different options. Select the CD option / icon labeled "dhis2" and double
click.

Opening the CD will display three different files, double-click on the one named "installer"
(or maybe it will show as "installer.bat"). You should now see the same image as shown in
step 2a, press any key (spacebar works fine).

Now wait until the dos-window says "installation completed successfully". There will be quite
a few messages running down your screen, especially in the beginning, ignore these. Once the
dos-window looks like the picture below, the installer is done. Press any key to get rid of the
window.

You should now have a new icon called "DHIS2" on your desktop as shown in the following
picture. Double-click on the icon.

First the following window will be displayed on your screen:

Select Don't import anything and click on Next. Then you will get the following screen (if
it does not show up right away, please wait a couple of minutes):

Click on Yes. Then enter the username admin and password district on the screen,
followed by pressing the enter key, and you will get following screen:

Click Never for This Site.

Finally you should get following screen:

DHIS2 is ready for use! The next time you start DHIS2 you will not have to do the above
steps, but it will instead be like described in step above.
Here is how it will look when you now start the DHIS2-icon: Login with the username
admin and password district.
As you have now installed DHIS2 on your computer, the next time you want to work with
DHIS you will not have to use the installation CD and go through the above described
process, so you can now remove it from the computer.Next time you restart the machine you
will be asked which user to log on as administrator or dhis2:
