METHOD 1

Manual installation is obsolete; both rpm and deb are now available for gtm, included in Astronaut.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

Installing GT.M....

Should unicode support be installed? (y or n) y  <== Enter

All of the GT.M MUMPS routines are distributed with uppercase names.
You can create lowercase copies of these routines if you wish, but
to avoid problems with compatibility in the future, consider keeping
only the uppercase versions of the files.

Do you want uppercase and lowercase versions of the MUMPS routines? (y or n)n  <== Enter

Compiling all of the MUMPS routines. This may take a moment.

Installation completed. Would you like all the temporary files
removed from this directory? (y or n) y <== enter the y

• Then remove the symlink gtm if you have one and create a new one.

cd /opt
sudo rm gtm
sudo ln -s gtm_V53004A gtm
ls -l gtm
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2009-08-14 17:52 gtm -> gtm_V53004A

• Now you can go to your vista user space and check the version:

su - vista
Password: 
vista@...:~$ gtm
