To start GeoNetwork opensource, browse to the start up scripts using a file manager.

On Windows, double click on the start-geonetwork.bat file. A terminal window should open, providing log information from Jetty.

On UNIX machines, open a terminal window and cd to the scripts directory.
You can start GeoNetwork by typing ./start-geonetwork.sh followed by a return.

The jetty output will look like this

When the output on the terminal window stops scrolling and you see ... Started org.mortbay.jetty.Server@ ... your system is up and running!

Now open a web browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox and browse to http://localhost:8080/geonetwork , assuming you used default values for the servlet and port and installed on your local computer.
GeoNetwork opensource shoud start and be ready for use. Congratulations!
