Getting the Sun OpenDS Standard Edition Software

You can obtain the Sun OpenDS Standard Edition software by using one of the following methods:

Download the software as a compressed archive (.zip) file from the Sun OpenDS download site. The zip distribution is a stand-alone delivery method to install and to configure a Sun OpenDS Standard Edition directory server instance. The installation process of the directory server is very simple. Download the zip file, and then extract the contents of this zip file to the location where you want to install the server.
Install the software from the Sun OpenDS Standard Edition Media Kit (part number: DSS99-200-9929). Copy the zip file from the Media Kit to a writable file system and extract the contents of the file to the location where you want to install the server.

To Download the Sun OpenDS Standard Edition Software

Point your browser to the Sun OpenDS download site.
Click Sun Download Gateway, and follow the instructions to save the zip file locally on your computer.
Unzip the zip compressed archive file.
```
$ unzip SunOpenDS_SE2.0.zip
```
If your system does not include a utility for extracting zip archives, you can use the jar tool provided with the Java environment.
```
$ jar -xvf SunOpenDS_SE2.0.zip
```
Change to the SunOpenDS_SE2.0 subdirectory.
```
$ cd SunOpenDS_SE2.0
```
