What is Astronaut VistA
Astronaut VistA is a package that installs one of several different versions of VistA (currently available versions are Astronaut WorldVistA and Astronaut OpenVistA) in an integrated fashion.
Astronaut packages the servers, clients, and auxiliary modules so that they are able to function together seamlessly.
The Astronaut OpenVistA server can accept connections from both the TMG-CPRS client (for Windows) and the OpenVistA-CIS client (for Windows and Linux). The Astronaut WorldVistA server can accept connections from the TMG-CPRS client but not from the OpenVistA-CIS client.
Where can I get Astronaut VistA ?
Server: Sourceforge.net download installation is now obsolete. apt-get or yum is the preferred method.
Client: Sourceforge.net download of the .exe is still the preferred method. Download here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/astronaut/files/
Installation Instructions
Debian/Ubuntu systems using apt-get:
- sudo echo "deb http://174.143.201.52/deb lucid main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/lucid-partner.list
- sudo apt-get update
Then:
WorldVistA:
- sudo apt-get install astronaut-wv-server-beta
OpenVistA:
- sudo apt-get install astronaut-ov-server-beta
Fedora/RedHat/CentOS using yum:
As root,
- cd /etc/yum.repos.d
- vi astroapt.conf
Add the following code: [base] name=Astronaut Yum Repository baseurl=http://174.143.201.52 gpgcheck=0
Save the file, then:
WorldVistA:
- yum install astronaut-wv-server-beta
OpenVistA:
- yum install astronaut-ov-server-beta
Astronaut VistA client installers
- Install Astronaut CPRS (and other) client packages (for Windows)
- Using Astronaut CPRS in Linux
Additional installation resources
- The Astronaut VistA installation is also detailed in the Ultimate Server Jaunty with OpenVistA walkthrough.
- Astronaut VistA is also used in a version of Ubuntu-Med.
Server functions
The VistA server functions are generally configured from a text interface. The VistA server is very flexible and powerful, and therefore can seem complex to customize and daunting for new users.
Accessing the interface is possible in several ways:
- While logged on the server (using any login ID) by starting VistA Commander from a command-line interface Terminal:
/opt/openvista/EHR/bin/vista_com.sh
- Logging in directly to the server using the provided Linux login (openvistaEHR or worldvistaEHR) and opening a (Konsole) Terminal. This loads the VistA Commander interface automatically. (On Astronaut systems, the default initial password is vista!123.)
- Using the Text Client and VistA Config menu items/shortcuts in the Astronaut Client menu (Windows systems only).
- Using the built-in VistA Server Text Client menu items/shortcuts in the Ubuntu-Med system.

Astronaut Features
Depending on the version of Astronaut used, these features may be available:
- Medsphere OVID - A MUMPS to Java bridge system.
- TMG CPRS - An improved version of CPRS that allows the ability to add patients directly. Has an integrated web browser.
- EWD -- A MUMPS/GT.M/M21 to Java, PHP, and ASP bridge that allows web browsers to interface with the VistA server directly (without CPRS).
- M2Web -- a web-based interface to the VistA server routines
