How to install and run GNUmed on MandrivaLinux 2007.1 and above

• you have to use the MUde-source
  • urpmi.addmedia --update mud-free_release ftp://ftp.mandrivauser.de/rpm/GPL/2008.0/i586/release/ with hdlist.cz

• for the client part several rpm packages exist at www.mandrivauser.de (should work with 2007.1 too) thanks to Florian aka doktor5000 from the MUde-rpm-team

• for the server part there is the hard way and the easy way. The easy way is to use the server rpm package 'gnumed-server'

  • set up the database
    • service postgresql start
    • passwd postgres
    • su - postgres
    • psql template1
    • create user web_user;
    • create database web_database owner web_user;
    • \q
    • exit
    • service postgresql restart
    • psql -U web_user web_database

• now either use the setup script or do it by hand:
  • download and untar gnumed-server
  • bootstrap GNUmed server
