1. Install and configure MySQL, Apache (or another PHP-capable webserver), and PHP5 (PHP4 is also supported). We recommend referring to your specific operating system (OS) documentation for installation of these software packages.

2. Download the daily OpenEMR development version snapshot:

http://opensourceemr.com/cvs/openemr-cvs.tar.gz (MD5SUM of file is Here.) (Confirm date of snapshot Here.)


3. Extract the downloaded archive:

tar -pxvzf openemr-cvs.tar.gz


4. Move the extracted directory openemr to your webserver root directory. Refer to your OS and webserver documentation to obtain you webserver root directory. For example, Mandriva's webserver root directory is /var/www/html, so in mandriva you would use the following commands:

mv openemr /var/www/html/


5. Open up web-browser and point it to the installation script at: http://localhost/openemr/setup.php

The first screen gives some general instructions and ensures file and directory permissions are set up correctly. Read and follow the instructions carefully. If there are errors on this screen, then follow instructions to fix. (screenshot below)

Step 1 ask if you want OpenEMR to create the database. Read and follow the instructions carefully. (screenshot below)

Step 2 is where you input MySQL database information along with OpenEMR user and OpenEMR path information. Do not be intimidated by this form. Most users will just need to enter a "Password", however, read and follow the detailed instructions carefully. (screenshot below)

Step 6 gives detailed instructions to configure Apache; it basically involves securing directories that will contain sensitive patient information. Read and follow the instructions carefully. This information is personalized for your computer, so we suggest you print this screen for future reference. (screenshot below)

The final installation screen gives additional instructions. This information is personalized for your computer, so we suggest you print this screen for future reference. At the bottom of the page is your OpenEMR username and password, along with a link to OpenEMR. (screenshot below)
