- Make sure you have a suitable database installed (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, or McKoi) and a database user account that can create tables in the database.

- Deploy the oaiprovider.war file into your servlet container.
- Configure the OAI Provider as described in the Configuration section below.
- Re-start the Web application (this is often done by restarting the servlet container itself).

It will find the demonstration objects you just ingested, request appropriate disseminations of each, and save them in its cache. Once it has successfully completed a cache update cycle, you should be able call the oaiprovider client service interface with OAI-PMH verbs. Here are some examples (note that you may have to substitute the name of your host for localhost):
| Panel |
