Windows
Requirements are:
- Install Java JDK 11
- Install LogicalDOC-Tomcat bundle
Install Java JDK 11
You can choose between Oracle JDK, OpenJDK or AdoptOpenJDK
Oracle JDK
Go to the Oracle Java download site and select to download the Java Developer Kit (JDK) 11, latest update.
The url is https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-jdk11-downloads.html
(Note that the url or version number may change as time goes by).
When the file has been downloaded, execute it to install Java on your system using the setup wizard.
OpenJDK
You can download the OpenJDK (free) version from the following site: https://openjdk.java.net/
Just keep in mind that LogicalDOC starting from version 8.3.4 requires JDK 11. You should avoid newer versions because LogicalDOC has non been tested yet on those.
AdoptOpenJDK
AdoptOpenJDK is a free and open source version of OpenJDK. It is an excellent version, always updated and supplied with a practical installer for Windows and packages for other systems.
You can download it quickly from the site https://adoptopenjdk.net/
Install LogicalDOC
Download the LogicalDOC 8x Tomcat bundle and uncompress on your file system disk (a good option is to uncompress on C:\). If you experience problems uncompressing logicaldoc-8.x.x-tomcat-bundle.zip, try using 7-Zip or the WinRAR application to uncompress it.
Application startup
- Execute the command C:\tomcat\bin\catalina.bat start to run LogicalDOC + Tomcat application server.

Download the LogicalDOC 8x Tomcat bundle and uncompress on your file system disk (a good option is to uncompress under /opt/).
Execute the following command on the terminal
$ unzip logicaldoc-8.x.x-tomcat-bundle.zip
Application startup
- Execute the command /opt/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh start to run LogicalDOC + Tomcat application server.

You should wait until you see a message on the console similar to the one shown below
INFO: Server startup in 8423 ms
- Restart Tomcat for the 2nd time
- Wait that the startup complete
- On a client browser, open the URL http://localhost:8080/logicaldoc/.
- You should see under the login form a triangle of warning, click on the link to the right to activate the setup procedure
- Perform the LogicalDOC Setup procedure using admin/admin as username/password in order to access the protected setup section
- Define a folder (on the filesystem) to use for the document repository (in some systems it may be necessary in advance the creation of the folder setting the correct write privileges)
- Select the type of database to use, the fastest procedure is to select the internal database (of course you can decide to use a more efficient database, the only thing is that you first need to proceed to the creation of a database schema)
