OFBiz can be downloaded several ways. The easiest way for new users is to download a current nightly build as follows, depending on the OFBiz Versions you are interested in:

Trunk: http://ci.apache.org/projects/ofbiz/snapshots/ofbiz-trunk-current.zip

...

Unzip the files in a directory of your choice. I use "/opt/ofbiz", but you may prefer "/usr/local/src/ofbiz" or something else. Windows users often use "c:\ofbiz". If you want to evaluate both versions, you can put them in separate directories, they are fully self-contained. Just run one at a time, and they won't conflict.

5. Subversion downloads

Once you get OFBiz up and running, you may want to update to more recent code. This is best done using Subversion, a Code Management System (CMS) that can update only the changed code, without 1) downloading the entire codebase again, or 2) overwriting your local customizations.

Because the files are distributed in source code, they will work on any computer with a System Requirements#Java SDK, whether Windows, Mac, Linux, BSD, or others.
