Required Software Installation (distribution specific)

First install and configure MySQL(or MariaDB), Apache(or another PHP-capable webserver), and PHP. We recommend referring to your specific operating system (OS) documentation for installation of these software packages.

Debian Lenny

To install the prerequisite software on debian, use the APT system as the system administrator to install packages listed on following wiki page section:

OpenEMR Dependencies

Installing OpenEMR

Extracting the Tarball

1. First, Download OpenEMR from sourceforge:

openemr-5.0.2.tar.gz (MD5 sum: a238f73ce95307a3fda854a0f34352d2)


2. Next, Extract the downloaded archive:

tar -pxvzf openemr-5.0.2.tar.gz


3. Move the extracted openemr-5.0.2 directory to your webserver root directory, and then go to this directory. Refer to your OS and webserver documentation to obtain you webserver root directory. For example, Ubuntu's webserver root directory is /var/www/html, so in Ubuntu you would use the following commands:

mv openemr-5.0.2 /var/www/html/openemr
cd /var/www/html

Some other common webserver root directories are:

  • Mandriva: /var/www/html/
  • The FHS: /srv/www/
