Do it yourself

Step 1 - Install Postgres on your Linux or Windows server. We recommend using the latest stable release.

Step 2 - Create your OPENCDRRATE database. Navicat and pgadmin3 have nice utilities to manage postgres installations if you are unfamiliar with postgres management.

Step 3 - Enable the PL/pgSQL language.

Step 4 - Install all the system [Tables]. Download: https://sourceforge.net/projects/opencdrrate/files/Tables/
