Prerequisites
Java 11
See Installing Java
SORMAS just recently moved to Java 11. We still need to support Java 8 for a transition period. Therefore, please just use Java 8 language features for now.
Ant
Download and install Ant, it can be done from Ant site or with packages from your Linux distribution.
Postgres Database
Alternatively you can use the Docker image available in SORMAS-Docker repository.
SORMAS Server
Install you own Payara server (see installing SORMAS Server).
This script will download Payara (if needed) and install SORMAS in the Payara server.
You can edit this script to change paths and ports.
Other steps :
* IMPORTANT: Adjust the SORMAS configuration for your country in /opt/domains/sormas/sormas.properties
* Adjust the logging configuration in ${HOME}/opt/domains/sormas/config/logback.xml based on your needs (e.g. configure and activate email appender)
* Build and deploy applications (ear and war) with you IDE.
Keycloak
See Keycloak for how to install Docker locally.
If you are doing active development on Keycloak (themes, authentication mechanisms, translations, etc.) it's recommended to install the standalone variant.
