The following instructions will demonstrate how to install OJS; how to make backups and restore from them; and how to upgrade to a new version of OJS. These instructions apply to typical Linux/Unix environments but will be substantially similar for Windows. The system requirements listed below must be met before beginning the installation process.
If you have any issues with these processes, you should take a look at the detailed
install instructions found in docs/INSTALL in the OJS installation
package. You may also want to take a look at the online
FAQ, and then follow up on the support forum.
Instructions and how-to's involving different environments may be found on the support forum or on the development wiki.
