What is Astronaut VistA

Astronaut VistA is not actually a version of VistA itself. Rather it is a simple installation bundle of other VistA rollups. Currently, OpenVistA and WorldVistA are available as Astronaut Installers. Once VxVista is released, Astronaut will consider making an installer for that as well.

Astronaut attempts to get lots of different clients and auxillary software packages to work together, out of the box. Currently, no other installer has the following features all working together:

Astronaut Features

  • Medsphers OVID - A Mumps to Java bridge system
  • TMG CPRS - An improved version of CPRS that allows for creating patients, and html not rendering
  • (soon) EWD.

Installation Instructions

To isntall Astronaut, you must choose a version of VistA to install, and then decide if you want to install on a rpm based system or a debian based system. It helps if you already understand a little about GNU/Linux to get this working. If this seems a little over your head, you can get help with GNU/Linux at your local Linux Users Group.
