Install the Administrator Launcher
- After you download the Administrator Launcher to your local machine, open the setup wizard.
- Choose whether you want to update an installation or install into a different directory, and select Next.
You are asked to view and accept an end-user license agreement, and then you are asked where you want to install the Administrator Launcher.
- Select which components to install, and then select Next.
Note: The Mirth® Connect Administrator Launcher is bundled with OpenJDK 17 technology automatically. Java 8 installation is not necessary unless you are running Mirth® Connect version 4.3.0 or lower with MFA, FHIR, or Advanced Clustering extensions; in that case, include the bundled OpenJDK 8 installation.
- When asked whether to associate JNLP files with the Administrator Launcher, select Java Network Launching Protocol (*.njlp), and then select Next.
In previous versions, Java Web Start technology would have been used, but since that has been removed from Java versions, it is recommended to select this option.Note: This option updates your operating system file preferences, but you may still want to update your web browser file associations to open JNLP files with the Administrator Launcher.The installation process runs, and you can choose to start the Administrator Launcher immediately after exiting the installer.
- Click Finish.
