3.1. Incoming ports
Make sure that the ports Tomcat is set on are open. The port to install Tomcat can be configured during the installation or in the Tomcat configuration file in the Tomcat Directory /conf/server.xml
The Z39.50 port is used for incoming queries; it is by default 2100 and should be left open to enable the Z39.50 remote search function.

3.2.Outgoing ports:
Since Geonetwork connects to some http ports of other sites for remote alignment and InterMap and some Z39.50 ports it is advisable to allow the server to go outside.

4. The most recent released Geonetwork installer can be downloaded at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/geonetwork/

4.1. Start the installer by double-clicking on the .jar file or type in the command prompt
java -jar
