Overview

This is only pertinent for users who installed OpenEMR 3.0.1 via the Ubuntu/Debian package, and is basically a one-click upgrade process (I do recommend backing OpenEMR up via the first step to avoid data loss). In Ubuntu, upgrade can either be done in desktop or command line. In Debian, we recommend upgrading via command line.

Backup before upgrade:
 In OpenEMR, go to administration menu and select Backup. Then click 'Continue' and save the backup file to your computer.


Desktop Ubuntu Upgrade

1) Download package here: openemr_3.1.0-1_all.deb (MD5 sum: 42c20feb0a72003e1b87466c61f5c707)
2) Double click openemr_3.1.0-1_all.deb file (this opens the GDEBI Package Installer)
3) Click 'Install Package'

-Enter your Ubuntu password

4) Once complete, can then login to OpenEMR, click in Ubuntu menu Applications-> Office-> Electronic Medical Records - OpenEMR
