METHOD 1

Manual installation is obsolete; new installations of both GT.M and VistA are more easily done with Astronaut.

• Astronaut VistA(tm) Auto Installer - yum/apt-get based installers for un-official and hugely improved WorldVistA(tm) and OpenVistA(tm).

METHOD 2

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

These instructions were done on an Ubuntu Jaunty desktop linux machine, with VistA previously installed using Astronaut.

• Start by logging into your Astronaut installation and doing a backup
• Go to the Sourceforge site for GTM.
• Find the latest release. As of 12 August 2009 it looks like:

   gtm_V53004A_linux_i686_pro.tar.gz  	 linux, mac, windows, bsd, solaris, others  	6.2 MiB  	Wed Aug 12 2009 15:48  	0

• Note: Release Notes will be found at the Fidelity Information Services website
• Make a tmp directory in /opt/lsb-gtm/ and download the file to it either using your browser, or by taking your terminal there and using wget. Then unzip it:

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

• Run the configure routine, directing it to create a directory

./configure
                     GT.M Configuration Script

What account should own the files? (bin)  <== Enter
Should execution of GT.M be restricted to a group? (y or n)  <== Enter
In what directory should GT.M be installed? /opt/lsb-gtm/gtm_V53004A_i686  <== Enter this directory path

Directory /opt/lsb-gtm/gtm_V53004A_i686 does not exist. Do you wish to create it as part of
this installation? (y or n) y  <== Enter the y

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.

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

cd /opt
sudo rm gtm
sudo ln -s gtm_V53004A_i686 gtm
ls -l gtm
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2009-08-14 17:52 gtm -> gtm_V53004A_i686

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

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

GTM>W $ZVersion
GT.M V5.3-004A Linux x86

• GT.M is upgraded. The database is backed up, so it's safe to upgrade it to run with the new GT.M:

mupip upgrade /opt/lsb-gtm/EHR/g/mumps.dat

• --and try it out:

/opt/worldvista/EHR/bin/vista_com.sh
