Getting Started

Download

First of, you must have an OMERO server installed. You need to download and install the versions of OMERO clients (i.e. OMERO.importer, OMERO.insight and OMERO.editor) compatible with your OMERO.server.

The latest versions are available for download from the Milestone Downloads page. Once downloaded, double-click the package to start the install process.

Logging in

The administrator who set the OMERO server will provide you with a user name, a password and the address of the OMERO server where your data are stored. The log-in procedure is the same for OMERO.importer and OMERO.insight.

^{Note: in a near future, both OMERO.importer and OMERO.insight will be part of the same application.}

^{Note: The OMERO.editor is a standalone application so does no require an OMERO.server.}

Select server

To enter the address of the server, click on the icon in the top-right corner of the login window.

You can either:

• Add the address of a new OMERO server by clicking on the icon
• Or Select/Edit an existing OMERO server.

You can also indicate the speed of your network connection:

• LAN (default value)
• High
• Low

The speed's information is used to set the compression level of the images rendered by the server i.e. LAN: no compression, High: medium compression, Low: high compression.

Then click the Apply button.

^{Note: The name of the selected server and the connection's speed are displayed in the Login Dialog.}

1. Enter your username and password.
