<h2>How To Install OpenDS</h2>
<p>If you are reading this page, you have already downloaded and unzipped
an OpenDS build.
<p>You can install OpenDS in two modes:
<ul>
<li><b>Graphical User Interface (GUI) mode</b>. The GUI mode uses
QuickSetup, a Java-based graphical tool that enables you to install and configure an
OpenDS directory server, load it with data and get it running in very little time.
</li>
<li><b>Interactive Command-line mode</b>. The interactive command-line utility
prompts you for required information before the installation and configuration begin.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Before You Install</h3>
A Java SE 6.0 (version 1.6.0_10) or higher runtime environment must be installed.
It is recommended that your system have at least 100MB of disk space and
256MB of free memory to run OpenDS for evaluation purposes. Note that
you can configure OpenDS in such a way that it requires substantially
less, or more, disk space. For more information, see the
<h3>To Install OpenDS in GUI mode</h3>
You can run QuickSetup remotely via Java Web Start, or locally from within the
build that you have downloaded and unzipped.
<p>If you run QuickSetup remotely, it automatically downloads and
unzips the latest weekly build, and handles server configuration.

<p>To run QuickSetup locally:

<ol>
<li>From the top level of your installation directory, type the following command:

(Unix, Linux) setup
(Windows) setup.bat
</span>
</li>
<li>On Mac systems, double-click on the QuickSetup.app application to launch
QuickSetup directly from the Finder.<br><br>
</li>
<li>Answer the questions in the installation wizard.
</li>
</ol>
<h3>To Install OpenDS in Command-Line Mode</h3>
