  _OpenNMS_ is mostly developed on Unix/Linux based systems, nevertheless it is possible to install the platform on _Microsoft Windows_ operating systems.
  To install the application a graphical installer is provided and can be used to install in the _Microsoft Windows_ environment.
  This section describes how to install the _OpenNMS_ platform on _Microsoft Windows 2012 Server_.
  
  NOTE: The standalone installer for _Microsoft Windows_ is only for latest stable versions of _OpenNMS_ available.
  
  IMPORTANT: It is required to have link:http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html[Oracle JDK 8] installed.
             The _JRE_ is *NOT* sufficient.
  
  TIP: To edit _OpenNMS_ configuration files on _Microsoft Windows_ the tool link:https://notepad-plus-plus.org/[Notepad++] can deal with the formatting of _property-_ and _XML_ files.
  
  The setup process is described in the following steps:

                      class-name="org.postgresql.Driver"
                      url="jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/opennms"
                      user-name="** YOUR-OPENNMS-USERNAME **"<1>
                      password="** YOUR-OPENNMS-PASSWORD **" /><2>
  
  <jdbc-data-source name="opennms-admin"
                      database-name="template1"
                      class-name="org.postgresql.Driver"
                      url="jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/template1"
                      user-name="** YOUR-OPENNMS-USERNAME **"<3>
                      password="** YOUR-OPENNMS-PASSWORD **" /><4>

  <1> Set the user name to access the _OpenNMS_ database table
  <2> Set the password to access the _OpenNMS_ database table
  <3> Set the user name for administrative changes of the _OpenNMS_ database table
  <4> Set the password for administrative changes of the _OpenNMS_ database table
