Installation instructions
-------------------------

To install GNUmed use the shell script 'install.sh' in the current
directory. It will ask you where you want to place GNUmed. If in doubt
just use the defaults provided by the script. Just press the the Return 
key to use the defaults

You need to make sure, however, that you have all the necessary
3rd party components installed. For this the script:

	check-prerequisites.sh
	
is executed by the install script.

You can install and setup a database with help of the shell scripts in
the GNUmed server package.

But you don't have to ! You can also connect the client to one
of the public servers. Look at the GNUMed Wiki for connection
info.

The Wiki can be found at

	http://salaam.homeunix.com/twiki/bin/view/Gnumed/WebHome

You can then run the client with help of the shell scripts in

	usr/bin/

If questions arise, please ask on the mailing list at

Enjoy !
