Setting up GT.M and the environment (vs. configuring VistA itself)

Depedencies:

You will need Xdialog (http://xdialog.dyns.net) on your PC for this approach.

Download an OpenVistA SemiVivA file from WorldVistA (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=60087) (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
