Installing elementalClinic in 5 minutes.

We've been hard at work this week making the installation of elementalClinic easier. It used to take a lot of Linux knowledge to get emC set up for your clinic but this week we've released it as an Ubuntu Hardy package so if you're comfortable installing applications in Linux you should be able to get it up and running in less than 5 minutes.

Here's how you can get it running:

GPG Key Import:
Before using the repository the GPG key must be imported into your
local apt GPG keyring.

wget -q -O- http://svn.opensourcery.com/public/ubuntu/87CB6495.gpg |
sudo apt-key add -

Add our Ubuntu Repository:
Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file and add the following line at
the bottom.

deb http://svn.opensourcery.com/public/ubuntu hardy main

Installing elementalClinic:

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install elementalclinic

Follow the instructions the last command prints after install to complete the
installation

Hopefully this guide helped you to get elementalClinic running. Please feel free to shoot me an email if you have any questions.

5 minute install - plus

Nice work Alex! This is far superior to the "long" install. I am still stumped at getting the apache virtual host to run cgi scripts, but in the mean time some suggestions for the instructions.
1) Install Hardy 8.04
2) sudo apt-get install apache2
3) sudo apt-get install postgresql
4) sudo apt-get install perl (should be in default Hardy install
5) sudo apt-get install libpg-perl
6) sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-perl2

Now do the "GPG Key Import" and the following steps.

At "Initialize the Database" first add the line
"sudo su postgres"
line 4 should then be:
"psql elementalclinic < /usr/share/*elementalclinic*/database/testdata-jazz.sql" remove the asterix
and the last line would be "exit"

Under "Enable the Apache vHost"
elementalclinic.conf must have a lower case c

Now can you tell me what to add to the /etc/apache2/sites-available/elementalclinic.conf so that the virtual host will run cgi scripts instead of displaying them. That part is driving me crazy. I think it may be something in the /etc/apache2/sites-available/default that is interacting.

Also my psql server authentication fails (error.log) using the password, but when I "createuser elementalclinic" there is no password specified. What's with that?

Please bring my CGI-scripts to life so that I can run the demo!

Thanks Jack

EMC in Fedora

Hello,

I am using Linux -Fedora core so the cmd apt-get doesnt work for me.

Unfortunately no

We don't support anything but apt-based architectures. With sufficient Perl knowledge you should be able to set it up without the packages.

Good luck!
