WAR-file
The WAR file requires you to install a Java servlet container (like Tomcat or Jetty) and a relational database (PostgreSQL, MySQL, H2 and Derby are supported), and is recommended for server setups and environments with high volumes of data and traffic. The stable version is thoroughly tested and should be used in production environments. The development preview version can be used for testing out the very latest features but might be unstable at times.

Mobile client
The DHIS 2 mobile clients runs on Java enabled mobile phones. The solution relies on an available data connection also known as GPRS, Edge or 3G, over which it communicates with a DHIS 2 server instance being publicly available on the internet.
There are two separate client applications available: the facility reporter and the program tracker. The facility reporting client is for regular data reporting from a facility, while the program tracker is designed for following up and reporting on individual program service deliveries to beneficiaries, as part of the name-based component of DHIS2.

Sample data
When setting up your system (and not choosing the Live package) it is useful to have access to a database with sample data. This database contains data from the DHIS 2 implementation in Sierra Leone. Note that the H2 database file needs write privileges on any OS. The PostgreSQL file must be unzipped and can be imported through pgAdmin restore function or with psql -d dbname -U username -f dhis2demo.backup

| Sample database (PostgreSQL) | 86 Mb | 2.6 |
