1. 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.
2. "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.
3. (not for snapshots) Load OFBiz demo data in the embedded Apache Derby database running "gradlew loadAll" on Windows or "./gradlew loadAll" on Linux/Unix/OSX.
4. 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").
5. Open a browser and go to
   httphttps://127.0.0.1:8080/ecommerce/control/mainlocalhost:8443/ecommerce or https://localhost:8443/ecomseo for the ecommerce application or
   https://127.0.0.1localhost:8443/webtools /control/mainfor the WebTools application or
   https://127.0.0.1localhost:8443/catalog /control/mainfor the Catalog Manager application.
6. The default administrative account is username: "admin", password: "ofbiz".
7. Have fun with it! You are running on a Java database. For more discussion of databases, read the section below on that topic.
