Introduction

Welcome to the getting started page (DEB). This guide will walk you through the minimal steps required to get OSCAR EMR running using the DEB package method.

Background

Debian packages are periodically built as new features and bug fixes are added to OSCAR EMR. The DEB packages are generously created and maintained by Peter H-C.

Requirements

A system running Ubuntu 14.04 which has atleast 2GB of memory, and 1GB of free space

Installation

Begin by downloading the latest DEB to your Ubuntu system. DEB packages must be downloaded from the Oscar McMaster Sourceforge file release page found here.

open a terminal and go to the directory where you downloaded the DEB file

cd Downloads
sudo dpkg -i oscar_emr15-51~508.deb
sudo apt-get install tomcat7 mysql-server libmysql-java
sudo apt-get -f install

You will get a few dialog boxes to set your mysql password, then to enter your mysql password, and eventually, the output will show you that OSCAR EMR is installed
