The "i2b2 Wizard" is a bash-based tool to install and configure an i2b2 server. An i2b2-Wizard-based i2b2 installation offers much more flexibility compared to the official i2b2 virtual machine, but is much easier than a manual i2b2 installation from source code. i2b2 Wizard provides an easy to use semi-graphical menu system to install i2b2, create i2b2 projects and create users.

This guide aims to be a comprehensive documentation about i2b2 Wizard, complemented with some information about setting up the virtual machine and the Linux system. Please note that this guide can not provide comprehensive information on installing and configuring Linux - you do need to have at least some knowledge about Linux.
