MAC users: open the dmg file and drag into the applications folder. You may create a shortcut or alias where you wish or in the dock. IMPORTANT: depending on your security settings, the first time you open the OMERO application, you will have to open it through a right click > “open” and confirm that you want to open it. You may have to configure your security system preferences to allow apps downloaded from other developers than the Appstore.

Windows users: execute the installer

CONFIGURATION

If this is the first time you run OMERO on that computer you will have to configure the server address. In the login window press the tool icon and add one server through the little ‘+’ icon. The server address must be “omero.mri.cnrs.fr” (no quotes). Choose the network speed, typically ‘LAN’ within the same institution. Click ‘Apply’
