11 Obtaining binaries
12 ------------------
13
14 To obtain the Orthanc binaries, you have several possibilities:
15
16 * :ref:`Compile Orthanc by yourself <compiling>`.
17 * `Download pre-compiled packages <http://www.orthanc-server.com/download.php>`__.

22 Opening Orthanc Explorer
23 ------------------------
24
25 The most straightforward way to use Orthanc consists in opening
26 **Orthanc Explorer**, the embedded administrative interface of
27 Orthanc, with a Web browser. Once Orthanc is running, open the
28 following URL: http://localhost:8042/app/explorer.html. Please note
29 that:
30
31 * The port number 8042 depends on your :ref:`configuration
32 <configuration>`.
33 * Orthanc Explorer does not work with Microsoft Internet
34 Explorer. Please use Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Apple Safari,
35 or `any WebKit-based Web browser <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebKit>`__.

38 Uploading DICOM files
39 ---------------------
40
41 The Orthanc Explorer interface contains a user-friendly page to upload
42 DICOM files. You can reach the upload page at
43 http://localhost:8042/app/explorer.html#upload. Then, you can drag and
44 drop your DICOM files and click on the Upload button.
45
46 You can `watch this video tutorial
47 <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dOcXGMlcFo&hd=1>`__ that shows how
48 to upload files to Orthanc through Orthanc Explorer.

50
51 Uploading through the DICOM protocol
52 ------------------------------------
53
54 Once Orthanc is up and running, any imaging modality can send
55 instances to Orthanc through the DICOM protocol (with the C-Store
56 command).
57
58 You can use the standard command-line tool ``storescu`` from the
59 `DCMTK software <http://dicom.offis.de/dcmtk.php.en>`__ to
60 manually send DICOM images to Orthanc, for instance::
61
62 $ storescu -aec ORTHANC localhost 4242 *.dcm
63
64 will send all the files with ".dcm" extension to the instance of
65 Orthanc that is running on the ``localhost``, whose application entity
66 title (AET) is ``ORTHANC``, and whose DICOM port is
67 ``4242``. Obviously, all these parameters depend on your
68 :ref:`configuration <configuration>`. Please check the :ref:`FAQ
69 <dicom>` if you encounter any problem.

72 Next steps
73 ----------
74
75 1. Read the general introduction ":ref:`dicom-guide`".
76 2. Have a look at your :ref:`configuration file <configuration>`.
77 3. Drive Orthanc through its :ref:`REST API <rest>`.
78 4. Automate DICOM tasks with :ref:`Lua scripts <lua>`.
