As a Java software, imeji works on all operating system where Java is installed. Nevertheless, we recommend using http://www.opensuse.org (or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server) which is used for the development and testing of imeji
Install Java[edit]
imeji supports Java 6. Compatibility with Java 7 is not guaranteed:
Install application server[edit]
Version 1.1.0.0 and after[edit]
Since version 1.1.0.0 imeji supports both JBoss 7.x and Tomcat 7.x:
- Download Tomcat (Recommended)
OR
Versions before 1.1.0.0[edit]
Versions of imeji before 1.1.0.0 only support JBoss 4.2.x:
Install Apache Server (Optional - recommended)[edit]
Download and install [1]

Install ImageMagick (Optional - recommended)[edit]
imeji uses http://www.imagemagick.org/ (from imeji version 1.3.0.0) to support not only more image formats, but also videos and audio formats. Therefore we strongly recommend to install it:
- Follow the installation instruction according to your operating system
- Set the ImageMagick properties in Imeji_properties
Fledged Data Service (Optional)[edit]
If you want to use the Fledged Data Service (for the OAI interface) you can download it here:
- Put fledgeddata.war file in webapps folder
- Put File:Fds.properties in conf folder (please adapt).
- Put File:Imeji2oai dc.xslt in conf folder
Digilib (Optional)[edit]
If you want to use Digilib (from imeji version 1.3.0.0), follow installation here: Imeji_digilib
Start imeji[edit]
- run
- JBoss: JBoss_Home_Path/bin/run.xx
- Tomcat: Tomcat_home/bin/startup.xx
- imeji runs under your_server:port/imeji
- Change admin password: the administrator account is created on first start. The credentials are admin@imeji.org with password admin. PLEASE CHANGE THIS IMMEDIATELY!!!
Eventually an Apache Server can be installed.
Stop imeji[edit]
- run
- JBoss: ?
- Tomcat: Tomcat_home/bin/shutdown.xx

Install eSciDoc (Optional)[edit]
Download and install escidoc
Note[edit]
eSciDoc is only optional. It is needed when the eSciDoc is used as the storage (see Imeji_storage). This is defined in the imeji properties (see Imeji_properties). The default is the internal storage setting for which you do not need eSciDoc.
