- Download and install Java 1.8 or higher JDK/J2SDK (not the JRE, you need the full SDK) from Sun's Java (J2SE) site. You can use OpenJdk 8 (or higher).
Make sure your JAVA_HOME environment variable is set to this JDK after installation (NOTE that for Mac OS X no JVM setup is needed, just make sure Java is up to date with the OS X Software Update facility).
There are still people using older versions, even it it's of course not recommened, notably for security reasons. By and large see this page on system requirements. - "Download" OFBiz in the directory of your choice (see comments below about that). This should create one sub-directory: ofbiz. This will be the OFBIZ_HOME location.
- (not for snapshots) Load OFBiz demo data in the embedded Apache Derby data base database running "gradlew loadDefault" on Windows or "./gradlew loadDefault" on Linux/Unix/OSX.
- Start OFBiz with embedded Tomcat by going into the ofbiz directory and then running
- Windows: "gradlew ofbiz" or "startofbiz.bat" (or even "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java -jar build\libs\ofbiz.jar")
- Linux/Unix/OSX: "./gradlew ofbiz" or "./startofbiz.sh" (or even "$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -jar build/libs/ofbiz.jar").
- Open a browser and go to
http://127.0.0.1:8080/ecommerce/control/main for the ecommerce application or
https://127.0.0.1:8443/webtools/control/main for the WebTools application or
https://127.0.0.1:8443/catalog/control/main for the Catalog Manager application. - The default administrative account is username: "admin", password: "ofbiz".
- Have fun with it! You are running on a Java database. For more discussion of databases, read the section below on that topic.
- For more detailed options and configuration information, read on!

There are many open source databases that will scale well and deliver good performance. The two most popular are PostgreSQL and MySQL. Postgres is a very full featured database with transaction support, foreign keys, stored procedures, et cetera. Postgres also has very friendly license terms. MySQL is a pretty good option these days as well but we recommend PostgreSQL. Please note that if you use MySQL in a commercial production instance you may have to purchase a commercial license because it is GPL licensed and so is the JDBC driver. MySQL AB allows use of the JDBC driver in open source projects in spite the GPL license, but this may not apply for commercial use of a modified OFBiz. For some, a commercial license is the preferred way to go anyway because of support and warranty and other issues. For those with this preference considering Postgres there is also a commercial Postgres derivative called EnterpriseDB.
