Downloading, installing and starting JMap 7 Istanbul

Step-by-step guide

Follow these steps to download, install and initiate JMap.
 

1. Download JMap
   
   JMap can be downloaded directly from K2 Geospatial's Support Portal: https://odoo.k2geospatial.com/web/login .You must have an user account to access the downloads section. If you don't, you can create one. Contact K2 Geospatial for any question.
    

2. Install Java (for versions prior to JMap 7 Amsterdam)
   
   

   This step is not required anymore for recent versions of JMap.

   
   If Java is not already installed, you must download and install it on the computer that will run JMap Server. Consult this article for more information : https://k2geospatial.atlassian.net/wiki/x/DAAtAQ.
   
   Note that JMap 7 Amsterdam and newer versions now include their own Java JVMs. No installation of Java is necessary on the server.

4. Send the activation file
   
   While installing, an activationkey.txt file was generated in JMap's bin folder (for ex. C:\Program Files\JMap\bin). You must send this file by email to: license@k2geospatial.com .
