Installation How To VistA GT.M Linux
Setting up GT.M and the environment (vs. configuring VistA itself)
Depedencies:
You will need Xdialog on your PC
for this approach.
Download an OpenVistA SemiVivA file from WorldVistA (either OpenVistA SemiVivA 0.4 or
OpenVistA SemiVivA FOIA Gold 20050212), say to /Distrib/OpenVistA. The
following will install GT.M and OpenVistA (replace the filename in the
second line with appropriate name of downloaded file):
su -
tar zxvf /Distrib/OpenVistA/OpenVistASemiVivAFOIAGold20050212.tgz
Assuming your userid is "vista" as the normal user vista, execute:
/usr/local/OpenVistA/vista --install /home/vista/myVistA/OpenVistA
(or other desired location) and reply in the affirmative when you are
prompted about creating directories. Subsequently, to run it, just
execute:
/usr/local/OpenVistA/vista --run /home/vista/myVistA/OpenVistA
