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.
