Download OpenCms:

Of course you need OpenCms itself.

Download it from the OpenCms website or see how to build it from the sources.


To run OpenCms you need:

  • A database system that is supported by OpenCms
  • Java 1.4 or higher
  • A servlet container (aka. 'servlet engine') that forms the basis for running OpenCms

The most well-tested open source components for getting started with OpenCms are:

  • Mysql, Version 4.0 or higher as database system
  • Sun Java, Version 1.5 or higher
  • Jakarta Tomcat, Version 5.0 or higher as servlet container


  • It is not totally necessary, but a good idea to install a webserver like Apache, for handling all requests that arrive at your website.
