Note :
The windows installation is quite straight forward, but for Linux be prepared
with some more patience. If everything goes fine its your luck else be prepared
to try reading lots of Linux blogs till you succeed. I have tried to address few
commonly encountered issues with solutions while installing PostgreSQL.
If you don't want to use PostgreSQL then OpenClinica supports Oracle 10g as
well. Oracle 10g Express edition (Oracle 10g XE) is available free to download
from Oracle website. Click here if you want install instructions for
OpenClinica with Oracle XE.
