Pre-releases
From time to time, the OpenMRS community makes pre-releases (alpha and beta versions) of OpenMRS software available for testing before a new version is released. Visit our Prereleases page on the OpenMRS Wiki to learn more and download.
Nightly Releases
Designed for developers or other technical experts. These .WAR files, meant to be used with a servlet container such as Apache Tomcat, are built every night automatically off of the latest code in our openmrs-core git repository. If the database schema has changed, you will need to “source” the update-to-latest.sql file on your database.
Note: The files are only built if there was a commit to GitHub within the past 24 hours. The build/revision number can be seen at the end of the API’s JAR version number.
Download nightly releases at Sourceforge.net or visit the OpenMRS Wiki for more information.
Older Releases
Past releases of OpenMRS (including unsupported releases) are available for download at Sourceforge.net. Release Notes from previous releases are available on the OpenMRS Wiki.

1. Decide what you need
What are you looking for?
If you want a mostly ready-to-go EMR, then the OpenMRS “RefApp”, or “Reference Application”, is what you’re looking for.
If you do not want to use the OpenMRS community’s User Interface (aka “RefApp”, or “Reference Application”, that is okay! In this case, you will want to download the “OpenMRS Platform”. Then you can build your own custom user interface on top of this platform, which includes both a backend and data model.
Platform
The OpenMRS Platform is a backend for medical records data storage, including a flexible data model designed for electronic medical information.
2. Expand your functionality
Demo Data
A sample anonymized data set, including 5,000 patients and 500,000 observations, is available to download for current OpenMRS Platform versions and import into your existing database.
Add-On Modules
The OpenMRS community has created a wide variety of add-on functionality for OpenMRS. Visit our Modules Directory to learn more and download modules.
