Overview
This one-click package will install/configure the most current development (unstable) version of OpenEMR from Sourceforge. It is extremely easy to install and uninstall, and it will not interfere with the official Ubuntu/debian OpenEMR Production Version Package. Since this cvs code is unstable, this should only be used for testing and evaluation purposes. So far, it has only been tested in the desktop version of Ubuntu 8.04, but should also work in the desktop and server versions of Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10, and Debian 4 and 5. (please email author below if the package worked (or didn't work) in these OS's).
To give a common scenario where this package would be useful:
A user is currently using the official Debian OpenEMR Production Version package on their computer for their clinic. They note interesting changes that have happened to the developer code (kept in cvs repository at Sourceforge) in the forums and would like to test/evaluate it on their local computer. This package would install/configure this most recent code (we call it the cvs version) to allow the user to test/evaluate it. When the user is done testing/evaluating, it is then very simple to remove this package. Then in a couple more days/week they can repeat the package installation to again test/evaluate the most recent cvs version.
Note this package installs an "unstable" version of OpenEMR and is only meant for testing/evaluation. If you want the stable package for production purposes then go HERE.
In Ubuntu, installation can either be done in desktop or command line. In Debian, we recommend installing via command line. We recommend uninstallation to be done in command line.
