OpenMRS Installation & Demo Data

If you're ready to install OpenMRS, installation instructions can be found here.

If you'd like to use demo data, a sample anonymized data set, including 5,000 patients and 500,000 observations, is available for testing the OpenMRS reference application. This is useful for potential implementers to see how OpenMRS might work within their health clinics. Download our demo data here.

Developer Stages

The purpose of developer stages is to help clarify where people are in their journey, motivate people to become increasingly skilled in OpenMRS development, and help us recognize when people are becoming more skilled with OpenMRS Development.

Google Summer of Code

OpenMRS has enjoyed participating in Google Summer of Code since 2007. We're extremely excited about the projects and mentorship opportunities that we hope to make available this year. Coding for OpenMRS is a great way to practice your coding skills and, at the same time, help benefit people in developing countries who are on the front lines of the battle against HIV/AIDS, TB, Malaria, and other public health challenges.
