My experience: installing & running OpenMRS in this way was a bit more difficult than I thought. The instructions on the wiki page was clear, yet I had trouble installing the pre-req: maven. It might have been easier if there were links to tutorials on installing the pre-requirement programs. It also would have been helpful to have a link to a quick video we can look at to facilitate the process. Importance of SDK : The SDK allows for multiple servers to run independently at the same time, and overall is a reliable and fast use. It is important to OpenMRS because it allows a fast and efficient way for developers for module development and platform code. It is a reliable database. In addition, it is compatible to different types of OS, and was successfully installed & ran fast on my Windows 10.
The screenshot I have provided proves that I have successfully installed JDK, Maven, and SDK. And when I typed in mvn
