Cause of OpenWMS.org is built as a distributed system and not as a single executable process the installation and setup is not that easy like with an installer from a CD-ROM.

First try: Demo Projects

In order to get an example project running within minutes, checkout existing demo projects for manual and automatic warehouse. A good example is Zile: https://github.com/spring-labs/org.openwms.zile

Second step: Tailoring

You might not need all the existing OpenWMS.org services for your customer project. So the best is to find out what services are needed and only cherry pick those components for your project. Usually this happens in the following steps:

• Requirements Gathering. Find out and describe the functions that are required in the project. At best make a list of those functional requirements.
• Go through the list of OpenWMS.org services and check the offered functionality of each service. For example: In a manual warehouse you don't need the TMS Driver component.
• A good starting point is always the OpenWMS.org Zile Project that has already the infrastructure services and other essential services in place. Copy that project and add additional required services into the list of Docker containers.
• Start up the system running
• Move out the PostgreSQL database to a separate server, perhaps change the service configurations in order to use a different database than PostgreSQL
