OpenGTS Installation Tutorial for Windows 10

This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing OpenGTS on your Windows 10 operating system.

Prerequisites

Before we get started with the installation process, make sure you have the following components installed on your system:

1. Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 8 or later
2. MySQL database server version 5.6 or later

Steps

1. Download the OpenGTS Package

   The latest version of OpenGTS can be downloaded from the official website at http://www.opengts.org/. You will need to register an account to download the package.

2. Install MySQL Database Server

   If you do not have MySQL installed on your system, download and install the latest version from the official website at https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/.

3. Create a MySQL Database

   Open a MySQL command prompt and enter the following command to create a new database:

   CREATE DATABASE opengts CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;
   

4. Install OpenGTS

   Once you have downloaded the OpenGTS package, extract the contents to a directory of your choice.

   Then, open a command prompt and navigate to the bin directory of the OpenGTS package.

   Run the following command to install OpenGTS:

   java -jar build.jar install=ALL mysql.host=localhost mysql.port=3306 mysql.user=root mysql.password=your_mysql_password
   

   Replace your_mysql_password with your MySQL root password.

   This will create the necessary tables and stored procedures in the opengts database.

5. Configure OpenGTS

   Open the webapp.conf file located in the webapp directory of the OpenGTS package.

   Edit the following parameters to match your system configuration:

   web-page.login.enable=false
   web-page.login.email=false
   web-page.login.mobile=false
   account.login.enable=true
   jdbc.host=localhost
   jdbc.database=opengts
   jdbc.user=root
   jdbc.password=your_mysql_password
   

   Save and close the file.

6. Start OpenGTS

   From the command prompt, navigate to the bin directory of the OpenGTS package.

   Run the following command to start the OpenGTS server:

   trackd.bat start
   

   This will start the server on port 31000.

7. Access OpenGTS

   Open a web browser and enter the following URL:

   http://localhost:8080/track/
   

   This will take you to the login page of OpenGTS.

   Use the default username admin and password admin to log in and access the main dashboard.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed OpenGTS on your Windows 10 system.
