Please note that this tutorial assumes you have basic knowledge of the Windows operating system and administrative privileges to install software.

Step 1: Prepare Your Environment

Before you begin the installation process, you need to ensure that your environment meets the following requirements:

  • Java 11 or higher installed
  • Maven 3.3.9 or higher installed
  • Git installed

If you do not have these software packages installed, you can download them from their official websites and follow the installation instructions.

The next step is to download OSIAM from the official Github repository. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Launch the Command Prompt by pressing Windows + R keys on your keyboard.

  2. Type cmd in the Run box and press Enter.

  3. Change your working directory to the location where you want to download the OSIAM source code using the cd command.

  4. Once you are in the desired location, use the Git command to clone the OSIAM source code repository:

    git clone https://github.com/osiam/osiam.git

    This command will create a folder named osiam in your current working directory and download the source code into it.

Step 3: Install OSIAM

Now that you have downloaded the OSIAM source code, it's time to install it. Follow these steps to complete the installation process:

  1. Navigate to the root folder of the osiam project.
  2. Open the Command Prompt in this folder by holding Shift + right-clicking and selecting "Open command window here."
  3. In the Command Prompt window, execute the following command to build the project:
    mvn clean install
  4. Wait for the build process to complete. This may take several minutes depending on your system's performance and internet connection speed.
  5. After the build process completes successfully, navigate to the osiam-server folder and run the following command to start the server:
    mvn -Pserver exec:java
  6. Once the server starts, you can access it by navigating to http://localhost:8080/osiam-server in your web browser.
