How do you get started with OpenMRS? Well, this depends a lot on your interests and needs. Developers may want to know how to download, understand, or contribute to the code base. You may be running a clinic and wondering if OpenMRS can serve your needs; or you may have a similar system or a lab system and wonder how you might be able to interact with OpenMRS systems. In any case, if this is your first visit to OpenMRS.org, we'll try to help you get started on this page.
