How to install and start version 0.0.4.0 (October 2002)

The old manual is INVALID!
This is the latest (and last) information concerning the old Java prototype.

Prerequisites

  • Java (J2SDK or JRE >= 1.4)
  • correct path settings so that Java can be called in a shell/ console
  • Linux or Windows operating system

Example Settings (can be changed suiting your needs)

  • home directory: /home/christian
  • download directory: /home/christian/tmp
  • installation directory: /home/christian/ResMedicinae

Installation

  • download installation file (resmedicinae_0.0.4.0.jar) to /home/christian/tmp
  • change to download directory:
    cd /home/christian/tmp
  • run install wizzard:
    java -jar resmedicinae_0.0.4.0.jar
  • follow the instructions (choose language, agree with license etc.)
  • remark: if all went fine, the installer should have:
    • installed the project in the given directory
    • made scripts/ batch files in the /bin subdirectory executable
    • set correct Java paths in the scripts/ batch files in /bin
  • otherwise, minor adaptations of scripts/ batch files, by hand, may be necessary

Start Main Module

Note: There is three modules: Main, Record and ReForm. Each of them can be started as standalone application. Record and ReForm can also be started from within the Main application but due to some difficulties do not have full functionality then.

  • change to installation directory:
    cd /home/christian/ResMedicinae
  • Linux:
    ./bin/startup_main.sh
  • Windows:
    \bin\startup_main.bat
  • a mouse click on the top-right window corner closes but not fully exits the application; additionally use CTRL+C in shell/ console

Start Record Module

  • change to installation directory:
    cd /home/christian/ResMedicinae
  • Linux:
    ./bin/startup_record.sh
  • Windows:
    \bin\startup_record.bat
  • close by choosing Exit in File menu

Start ReForm Module

  • change to installation directory:
    cd /home/christian/ResMedicinae
  • Linux:
    ./bin/startup_reform.sh
  • Windows:
    \bin\startup_reform.bat
  • close by choosing Exit in File menu

Compilation

  • is NOT possible because the last version had bidirectional inter-dependencies between the ResMedLib library and the Record/ ReForm module
  • however, if you are a good developer or have a good tool and can resolve this, then you may want to use the build.sh/ build.bat files for compilation

Deinstallation

  • change to user directory:
    cd /home/christian
  • enter command:
    java -jar ResMedicinae/Uninstaller/uninstaller.jar
  • in the dialog, click on Deinstall

Comment

Version 0.0.4.0 was an early prototype, written in Java. It is not maintained and developed anymore. The whole programming base gets changed to a new XML-based language called CYBOL, which can be found at:
http://www.cybop.org/

It will take another couple of years until a new, useable prototype, written in CYBOL, will be published. Those who want to use a free medical software before that, may want to have a look at http://www.gnumed.org
