Hello,
The Evergreen staff client (for end users) is available as a
self-executable installer for Windows. The latest version can be
downloaded from http://www.open-ils.org/downloads.php.
The server software only runs natively on Linux. For testing and
demonstration purposes, there are software images built using VMWare
that will run with an appropriate VMWare image player on Winows XP --
essentially creating a virtual computer on your Windows XP desktop
running Linux and the Evergreen server software. Information on VMWare
and the VMWare Evergreen images are also available from the download
page at http://www.open-ils.org/downloads.php.
Good luck.
