Plug and Play VistA Installation Log

Installing plug and play vista is a two step process. The first step requires you to become root.

In the following log, My input is in bold. The name of the Linux platform I am running on is named Athlon.

Mount and list the cdrom. It should look as follows:

Athlon > mount /mnt/cdrom
Athlon > ls /mnt/cdrom

Config.Vista      InstallVista.csh           Readme.Plug-N-Play  vistapnp.tgz
Creating.CacheDB  Installation.Instructions  Vista.csh           zemacs.ro

This file (PlugAndPlay.html) is not listed, since it was added after the first cdrom was created. You should see it when you list your cdrom.

Step 1 - Create /home/CachdDB directory

Step 1 - Create /home/CacheDB.

Athlon > su
Password: *************
[root@Athlon witkop]# tcsh /mnt/cdrom/Vista.csh
You must be root (super user) to run this script
This script takes zero or one parameter
run this script as follows:
tcsh Vista.csh rwitkop
but replace rwitkop with your user name
user = witkop
args = 0
user = witkop
thisuser = witkop
you have entered witkop for your user name
Creating /home/CacheDB
changing ownership of /home/CacheDB to witkop
[root@Athlon witkop]# exit
exit

You may have noticed that I did not pass any parameters to the script. The script will only take one parameter, and that is the users login name. I recommend that you run these scripts under the username that you have set up to manage Caché. I am the only user on Athlon, so I am the default. The next step must be run as the user set to configure VistA/Caché.

Step 2 - Install and configure VistA

Verify that CacheDB exists in /home.

Athlon > ls /home

Cache51-DB  Cdrom      Install    Transfer   admin       webhead
CacheDB     Downloads  NoOnCdrom  VistaCprs  lost+found  witkop

CachDB has been created, now to install and Configure VistA

Athlon > tcsh /mnt/cdrom/InstallVista.csh
You have Caché installed
Caché is running
You have run Vista.csh with your login user name
You have permission to write to /home/CacheDb
Your cdrom is mounted as /mnt/cdrom
if not, this won't work

Summary of what was done

In step 1, /home/CacheDb was created.
In step 2, /mnt/cdrom/vistapnp.tgz was unpacked in /home/CacheDb, then, a Caché session was started to input the commands from /mnt/cdrom/Config.Vista. You now have VistA installed and configured. Please see the other pages for VistA on Caché.
