OpenCRVS (Civil registration & Vital Statistics) is a digital public good to help achieve universal civil registration and evidence-based decision making in all country contexts.
We are on a mission to ensure that every individual on the planet is recognised, protected and provided for from birth.
The following instructions will guide you on how to set up a local, demo development environment of OpenCRVS using our fictional country configuration: "Farajaland".
In order to run OpenCRVS, we expect that you have a working knowledge of Linux / Unix operating systems and can run terminal commands.
OpenCRVS consists of multiple servers which run in Docker containers and requires Node JS. You should be familiar with the concepts of Docker and Node JS web application software development.
Install the dependencies and follow the first time setup instructions. This will checkout, download, install, configure and start all the servers for you in order to get up and running quickly with OpenCRVS.
Read review our documentation for all the information you need. This README only contains instructions on how to set up a local demo development environment.
Dependencies are required. Ensure you have satisfied all the following requirements before continuing:
- Operation system: Linux or Unix operating system is required: OpenCRVS has been tested on Ubuntu 18.04.6, 20.04.3, Mac OSX BigSur & Mac OSX Monterey: If you do not have Ubuntu or MacOSX, investigate installing a virtual Ubuntu environment on your computer.
- Admin rights: You must have admin rights over your computer and a sudo password
- Disk space and RAM: A minimum of 20GB of hard drive space available and at least 16GB of RAM. If you are using virtualisation, ensure this is dedicated to the environment.
- Docker: On Ubuntu, install Docker & Docker Compose. On Mac, install Docker for Mac. On Mac, in Docker for Mac preferences, assign 4 CPUs, at least 8GB Memory or more, Swap 4GB and 4 CPUs if your system allows. Elastic search needs a lot of memory to run. On Ubuntu we set enough RAM automatically. OpenCRVS has been tested on Docker version 20.10.11 and docker-compose version 1.29.2
- Nodejs: You must install Node v14.18.0 or v14.18.1 (this release has been tested on those versions) using Node Version Manager. OpenCRVS has not been tested on newer versions of Node and you may experience issues if you are using an untested Node version.
- Yarn: Install the Yarn Package Manager for Node
- Chrome: Install Google Chrome. The OpenCRVS client application is a progressive web application.
- tmux: Install tmux. Multiple terminal windows are required to run OpenCRVS Core alongside the default country configuration. On Ubuntu run:
sudo apt-get install tmuxto install. On Mac, you can install tmux using Homebrew or MacPorts.
The following instructions will guide you on how to set up a local, demo development environment of OpenCRVS using our fictional country configuration: "Farajaland". To deploy OpenCRVS onto a publicly accessible server, follow these instructions.
-
Check you have installed all the dependencies. See above.
-
Run
git clone https://github.com/opencrvs/opencrvs-core.git -
Run
cd opencrvs-core -
Run
git checkout master -
Run
bash setup.sh(takes 10-15 minutes)This installer script will:
- Tests your dependencies
- Checks that required ports are available. NOTE: MacOS Monterey runs AirPlay on port 5000. Mac Monterey users need to disable AirPlay in System Preferences in order to run OpenCRVS.
- Download and install all Docker images
- Check out the example OpenCRVS country configuration
- Runs all OpenCRVS Core microservices
- Run the OpenCRVS fictional country configuration, "Farajaland" and populate local databases with Farajaland reference data
- If there are any missing dependencies the script will exit and display instructions. Once the dependency is satisfied, you can try again.
-
On completion you will see the OpenCRVS logo
-
Open the url
http://localhost:3020/ -
You have successfully installed OpenCRVS! 🎉
-
Proceed to login using the details below
-
To stop OpenCRVS running in the installer, type Ctrl+c, then exit in each tmux terminal window

Ibombo District in Central Province is our fake country Farajaland's capital district.
Ilanga District in Sulaka Province is meant to demonstrate a provincial district office in our fake country, Farajaland.

After you have installed OpenCRVS. The setup script will have installed the opencrvs-farajaland country configuration in a directory alongside opencrvs-core. The country configuration is a separate server that must be started and stopped alongside opencrvs-core.
To start and stop opencrvs-core and the country configuration server, use the following commands.
-
Run
cd opencrvs-core -
Run
pwdto output the path. (You have to pass the absolute path to opencrvs-core as a parameter when starting the country configuration ) -
Copy the path
-
Run
yarn devto start opencrvs-coreIf you did not previously run our setup command, Docker will have to download Mongo DB, ElasticSearch, OpenHIM and Hearth docker images. These are large files. Then docker will build them and you will see Mongo errors output for a long time until Mongo is running.
If you did run our setup command, OpenCRVS will start much faster.
Wait for the OpenCRVS client app to build completely (output will stop and you will see the message: @opencrvs/client: Compiled with warnings. Along with TypeScript/Node dependency warnings... ), then OpenCRVS Core will be available.
-
Open a new terminal window
-
Run
cd ../opencrvs-farajaland -
Run
yarn dev <!-- paste in the absolute path to your opencrvs-core directory here -->to start the country configuration server
- Press Ctrl+c in the opencrvs-core terminal
- Press Ctrl+c in the opencrvs-farajaland terminal
When OpenCRVS is running, you can browse to other interesting servers such as:
Our UI component styleguide, available here: http://localhost:6060/
This is a work in progress
OpenHIM is designed to ease interoperability between OpenCRVS and external systems such as Health & National ID. It provides external access to the system via secure APIs. OpenHIM channels and governs internal transactions, routing, orchestrating and translating requests into FHIR between services and the database layer.

When logging into OpenCRVS core locally, OpenHIM will display an error " ..if you are using a self-signed certificate, you may first need to instruct your browser to accept it.
You can do so by accessing the following link." Click the link, and you will see the Chrome: Your connection is not private" error.
This is nothing to worry about as when deploying OpenCRVS core to a server, our Traefik service provisions a LetsEncrypt SSL cert across the entire stack. Click "Advanced" & "Proceed to localhost (unsafe)". You will see output like this
{"master":655.1310464,"now":1642447245037}.You can now go back to this OpenHIM link and login again freely: http://localhost:8888/#!/login
A companion example country configuration for Farajaland is checked out for you automatically using our setup script above. This country configuration server runs alongside opencrvs-core and serves languages, form configuration, logo files, adminisrative structure (jurisdictions and offices) etc. To see the code, learn more and fork for your requirements, visit our documentation. The example country configuration repo. opencrvs-farajaland.
We want to see OpenCRVS implemented across the world. We can’t do this alone. Through the OpenCRVS Community, we are uniting experts in civil registration and other interested parties.
