GTM installation

METHOD 1

Obsolete, rpm and deb is now available for gtm, included in Astronaut.

• Astronaut WorldVistA(tm) Auto Installer - rpm and deb installers for WorldVista EHR

METHOD 2

The manual method may be needed, such as for updating GT.M in a previously installed system.

These instructions were done on an Ubuntu Jaunty desktop linux machine.

• Go to the Sourceforge site for GTM.
• Find the latest release. As of 12 August 2009 it is:
• gtm_V53004A_linux_i686_pro.tar.gz linux, mac, windows, bsd, solaris, others 6.2 MiB Wed Aug 12 2009 15:48 0
• Make a tmp directory in /opt and download it there with your browser, or else take your terminal to /opt/tmp and use wget. Then unzip it:

sudo mkdir /opt/tmp
cd /opt/tmp
sudo wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/fis-gtm/files/GT.M-x86-Linux/V5.3-004A/gtm_V53004A_linux_i686_pro.tar.gz/download
sudo tar zxfv gtm_V53004A_linux_i686_pro.tar.gz 
[verbose output omitted]

• Then run the configure routine, directing it to create a directory

sudo ./configure
