Choose the most recent Stable Build. </li> <li>Unzip the zip file to a folder on your computer.<br/><b>Note:</b> Be sure to choose a folder that you have write access to.<br/><b>Mac OS X:</b> use the command line unzip. If you use the „Archive Utility“, make sure that you „<i>Allow Applications Downloaded form: Anywhere</i>“ in (System Preferences->Security & Privacy->General)</li></ol><h2>Starting the server</h2> <ol><li> Make sure you have Java installed - the server is implemented in Java and <b>requires</b> Java SE 6. (Does 'java -version' print something like: java version „1.6.0_22“?). You also need a modern HTML5-capable browser. We recommend Firefox 15 or greater, Chrome 21 or greater, or Internet Explorer 10 or greater.</li> <li> Launch the Orion server: <ul readability=„1“><li> <b>Linux:</b> Run

(If you want it to use a different port, change the setting in the orion.ini file. On Mac OS X, you will have to right-click on eclipse/eclipse and select „Show Package Contents“, then navigate into Contents/MacOS.)</li> <li> Point your web browser to <a rel=„nofollow“ class=„external free“ href=„http://localhost:8080/“>http://localhost:8080/</a>.</li> <li> You'll be directed to the Orion login screen:<br/><a href=„https://wiki.eclipse.org/File:Orion_Create_Account.png“ class=„image“ title=„Orion Login Screen“><img alt=„Orion Login Screen“ src=„https://wiki.eclipse.org/images/b/b3/Orion_Create_Account.png“ width=„725“ height=„343“/></a><br/>From here you can create a new account for yourself on your local Orion server, or connect Orion to an existing Google or Mozilla Persona account instead (both these two options require an initial Orion account).</li></ol><h2>Stopping the server</h2> <ol><li> Go to the server console window that opened when you launched the server.</li> <li> Type
