6443N/A <para>This guide shows you how to install, upgrade, and remove OpenDJ
6443N/A software. Unless you are planning a throwaway evaluation or test

6443N/A <para>If you want only to try OpenDJ server software, and you
6443N/A do not plan to store any real or important data that you want to keep,
6443N/A then you need not read this entire guide. Instead, try <link

6443N/A <title>Who Should Read this Guide</title>
6443N/A
6443N/A <para>This guide is written for anyone installing OpenDJ who plans to
6443N/A maintain directory services for client applications. Basic OpenDJ
6443N/A installation, especially using Java WebStart, can be simple and
6443N/A straightforward, particularly if you are already acquainted with directory
6443N/A services. Upgrading a running directory service without a single point of
6443N/A failure that can cause downtime requires at least a little thought
6443N/A and planning. Also, even in the case of basic installation, you may
6443N/A find yourself wanting more background about what you are doing.</para>
6443N/A
6443N/A <para>This guide covers the install, upgrade, and removal (a.k.a. uninstall)
6443N/A procedures that you theoretically perform only once per version. This guide
6443N/A aims to provide you with at least some idea of what happens behind the
6443N/A scenes when you perform the steps.</para>
6443N/A
6443N/A <para>You do not need to be an LDAP wizard to learn something from this
6443N/A guide, though a background in directory services and maintaining server
6443N/A software can help. You do need some background in managing servers and
6443N/A services on your operating system of choice. You can nevertheless get
6443N/A started with this guide, and then learn more as you go along.</para>
