This package is basically a one-click installation/configuration package for Ubuntu and Debian OS that also configures Apache and PHP. It is extremely simple to install, and we plan to support automated OpenEMR upgrading in the future. It has been tested in the desktop and server versions of Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10, and Debian 4 and 5.

In Ubuntu, installation can either be done in desktop or command line. In Debian, we recommend installing via command line.


Desktop Ubuntu Installation:
1) Download package here: openemr_3.0.1-1_all.deb (MD5 sum: fc976cf4198f296ada152feae34c18c6)
2) Double click openemr_3.0.1-1_all.deb file (this opens the GDEBI Package Installer)
3) Click 'Install Package'

-Enter your Ubuntu password

4) During installation, click 'Terminal' occasionally to follow status and supply user input as needed

-If prompted, create a mysql root password (applicable if installing mysql server)
-If prompted, enter your mysql root password (during openemr installation)

5) Then login to OpenEMR, click in Ubuntu menu Applications-> Office-> Electronic Medical Records - OpenEMR

(user is 'admin' , password is 'pass')
