Hospital Run is an open-source hospital management software that allows healthcare providers to manage their patients' medical records and appointments. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Hospital Run on Elementary OS Latest.
Before we start, ensure that you have the following requirements:
Hospital Run is built on Node.js and NPM (Node Package Manager). We will first install these prerequisites. Open your terminal emulator and enter the following commands:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install nodejs npm
To verify if Node.js and NPM are correctly installed, run the following commands:
$ node -v
$ npm -v
These commands will display the version of Node.js and NPM installed on your system.
Now, we will download the Hospital Run source code from GitHub. Run the following command in your terminal emulator:
$ git clone https://github.com/HospitalRun/hospitalrun-frontend.git
This command will clone the Hospital Run repository into your current directory.
In the next step, we will install the Node.js dependencies required by Hospital Run. Change the directory to the hospitalrun-frontend folder by executing:
$ cd hospitalrun-frontend
Then, run the following command:
$ npm install
This command will download and install all the required Node.js dependencies.
After installing the Node.js dependencies, we can now start Hospital Run. Run the following command in the terminal emulator:
$ npm start
Now, open your web browser and go to http://localhost:3000. You should see the Hospital Run login screen.
You have successfully installed Hospital Run on your Elementary OS Latest system. You can now use Hospital Run to manage your patients' medical records and appointments easily.
