The DHIS2 WAR file requires you to install a Java servlet container (like Tomcat or Jetty) and PostgreSQL. You can get the latest stable release for all maintained versions from the links below, and the very latest build from here. Check out the installation guide for Ubuntu Linux.

The WAR files are hosted on releases.dhis2.org where you can also find nightly (“canary”) as well as bleeding-edge (“development”) builds, by selecting the appropriate channel.

Please note that if you are upgrading your DHIS2 instance you should consult the upgrade notes for each version in between your current version and the new version you are installing, to be aware of any new requirements or configuration changes.

The DHIS2 Android Capture App allows for mobile data capture in both online and offline mode, across all DHIS2 data models. Data and metadata are automatically synchronized whenever there is internet access, always keeping the most relevant data for the logged-in mobile device user.

DHIS2 has worked with the World Health Organization (WHO) and other partners to develop standardized metadata packages to strengthen data use on a national and international level by supporting adoption of global health data standards into national routine health management information systems. Packages are available for analytics dashboards, aggregate data collection, and case-based (Tracker) programs, and can be installed in standalone DHIS2 systems or integrated into existing DHIS2 instances.

Read more and download metadata files on the WHO package downloads page.

When setting up your system it is useful to have access to a database with sample data. This database contains data from the DHIS2 implementation in Sierra Leone. The PostgreSQL file must be gunzipped and can be imported through pgAdmin restore function or with psql -d dbname -U username -f dhis2-db-sierra-leone.sql. You might want to install the 7zip package to gunzip the database file on Windows.

You can also find all sample data on databases.dhis2.org.
