2 Run Installer or directly run portable version from Windows OS

For portable version, you simply launch it, and it runs. This means there is nothing to install, and Unimus will only run when you launch it yourself. Else, just run a installer to get it installed, which will start it once system booted it up.

3 Installation guidelines from https://wiki.unimus.net/display/UNPUB/Installing+Unimus

There might be some pre-requirements such as Java

Unimus is written in Java, and requires a JRE (Java Runtime Environment) to run.
We support Java 8-11, and you can use Oracle, OpenJDK or Corretto JRE. Here is a download link: https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

4 Run Unimus Portable

To run Unimus in portable (standalone) mode, simply launch the Unimus.exe.

This will open Unimus in a command-line window.

As long as this window remains open, Unimus will stay running.

You can close Unimus simply by closing the command-line window (or use Ctrl+C).

Unimus will now run at http://localhost:8085, you can access it using your browser.

(substitute 'localhost' for the address of your Unimus server)
