  1. Check you have Java 7 or 8 on your machine, and if not, download and install it from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html
  2. Get the EFES software: either download the ZIP from https://github.com/EpiDoc/EFES/archive/master.zip or clone from Github if you have an account already.
  3. If you downloaded the ZIP file, unpack it in a directory of your choosing.
  4. Open up your Command prompt/Terminal:
    1. Windows: navigate to your EFES folder and run the build.bat batch file; you can also run it by double clicking.
    2. GNU/Linux or Mac OS X: navigate to your EFES folder and run the build.sh file (sh build.sh). This script will start Jetty, a lightweight web server that is pre-configured to run all of the EFES components.
  5. In your file navigator navigate to /webapps/ROOT/content/xml/ and create a folder named “epidoc”. This is where you will put your EpiDoc XML files.
  6. Visit http://127.0.0.1:9999/ with your web browser. You’ll see a “Welcome to EFES” page.
  7. Congratulations! EFES is now all set up. You can start filling in your content.
