Developer Guide

The developer environment can be set in any Operating System (Linux, Windows, etc.) since it is a multi-platform system, but Linux is recommended, because is what it is being used.

You need to install Maven, eclipse IDE and some plugins. For OpenKM 4.0 and 5.0 you have these requirements:

• Maven at http://maven.apache.org/

Once all them are installed, you can download OpenKM and build it.
