By mid-2009 a dedicated group of workers had created a solidly functioning set of installers for WorldVistA EHR. Here is an overview from the president of WorldVistA [1]:
The official web site for WorldVistA EHR is the WorldVistA web site
The distribution point for WorldVistA EHR is Source Forge
and the WorldVistA web site points you to the Source Forge site.
Built on the release of WorldVistA EHR from Source Forge are distributions of repackaged software, sometimes with enhancements. Ignacio's Astronaut packages are an example. By way of analogy, the WorldVistA EHR distributions are like Linux kernels from http://kernel.org whereas the redistributions are like GNU/Linux distributions from Debian, Red Hat, Ubuntu, etc.
New releases of WorldVistA EHR will appear on Source Forge, and will be announced on hardhats, as well as elsewhere.
Regards -- Bhaskar
K.S. Bhaskar President, WorldVistA
These installers can set up production-grade instances of the VistA server on a Linux platform, ready to connect to the CPRS front end, with relative ease.
- Astronaut Installers (thanks to Ignacio Valdes and many others) -- links and descriptions
Installing VistA is only the beginning; configuring it is a lengthier task. Here is some help:
- Implementation Log (from Hardhats) -- an extended Howto
- VistA Standard Base (from Hardhats) -- some Linux infrastructure
