Starting with a fresh database

These steps will take you thru starting off with a clean database in the LivePC (Linux - Ubuntu).  You will need a working internet connection.

1. Stop Synapse-server if it is running
2. Start up a console session ( Applications/Accessories/Terminal ) and type the following commands that are in bold
   
3. cd /home/m5/.wine/drive_c/EMR/
4. Rename the existing database to old-remr.fdb
5. mv remr.fdb old-remr.fdb
6. Get a copy of blank new database
7. cp /home/m5/Desktop/install\ files/remr.fdb ./
8. Change the owner to firebird, and use the password of m5 when prompted
9. sudo chown firebird:firebird remr.fdb
   
10. and that completes the terminal commands.
11. Now start up synapse-server from the "start synapse.sh" icon on the desktop by double clicking on the icon, and selecting "run"
    
12. Enter a username ( case sensitive )
13. Enter a password of at least 8 characters, and write it down somewhere
14. Enter your full name and then click on "Create"
15. Click on "Yes" on all the following GUI prompt.
16. So, this installs the CPT codes, and updates the database.
17. When it says "Synapse-EMR Server 0.0.83 beta-10 serving ... on port 8011" it has finished. 
    
18. Double click on the "update-database.sh" icon on the desktop and choose run
19. Just hit Enter to accept the defaults
20. And then "Q" to quit when it has finished, while noting any errors ( there shouldn't be any)
    
21. Open the Synapse-Client folder on the desktop, and double click on synapse-linux icon.
22. Enter the userid and password you created above in step 12, 13 and then "OK"
23. If successful, you will be greeted with an "About" window.  Close this window down.
24. The following are performed in the Settings/User tab
    
25. Enter your fullname, your provider number, and specialty
26. Then enter all the address details on Line1, Line2, Line3 etc and then click on "Add New Location"
27. On the Appts tab, enter how many minutes per follow up consultation
28. On the Misc tab, click on the all the blue text but change the Font Root Dir to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/
29. On the Letters tab, enter the default Paper size, City, and closing
30. On the PostScript tab, click on the blue text ( should be gv and not evince ).
31. You may have to install gv ( sudo apt-get install gv )
    
32. On the Social tab, enter "Smoking" or whatever you want to appear as default
33. On the Coding tab, select the coding system, and formulary
34. On the Email tab, enter your smtp server and email address.  Test if you wish.
35. Now click on the green button "Save Config"
36. Now we move to the Settings/GUI Templates tab, click on "Personalize", then the "All" button at the bottom left, and then "Save"
37. You can click on either column to add or remove
38. Now move to the Settings/Postscript Templates tab
39. We now need to create 7 templates.  We are going to assume that you want to use American letter paper size.  Don't worry too much about how they look ( you can't view them until you have a patient entered ) as you can change them later on.
    
40. We already have two templates created by default.  But they're A4, so ignore them.
41. Using the drop down menu, select Script, enter the name "Script" and then click on the "Default" button, and then the bottom "Resize A4 to Letter" button, and then the "Add New" button.
    
42. Repeat the same procedure for the Request, Request-no-details, Letter, Patient, Invoice, Medicine drop downs, and call them Request, Request with no details, Letter, Patient Letter, Superbill, and Medicines.
43. When that is all done, move back to the Settings/User/Postscript tab
44. Click on the "N" besides each of the templates and choose the new template you just created for each one of these
45. Now click on "Save Config" and you have finished
46. You can spend more time configuring which functions you want attached to the function keys in Settings/User/F-keys, and click on "Save Assignments" after you have finished.
