Step-By-Step Install Guide openEMR on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

By Kefa Rabah, krabah@gtechsi.org Dec 14, 2010 GTS Institute
1.0 Introduction
In this Hands-on Labs session, we’re going to learn how to install and configure the Linux Ubuntu 10.04
LTS (Lucid Lynx) 64-bit server option which we then use to install openEMR. You can also use the Ubuntu
20.04 LTS Desktop if desired.
OpenEMR is a free Open source, Practice management, Electronic Medical Records, prescription writing
and medical billing application. These programs are also referred to as electronic health records.
OpenEMR is licensed under the General Gnu Public License (General GPL). It is a free open source
replacement for medical applications such as Medical Manager, Health Pro, and Misys. It features support
for EDI billing to clearing houses such as Availity, MD-Online, MedAvant and ZirMED using ANSI X12.
OpenEMR was originally developed by Synitech and version 1.0 was released in June 2001 as MP Pro
(MedicalPractice Professional). Much of the code was then reworked for HIPAA compliance and improved
security, and the product was reintroduced as OpenEMR version 1.3 a year later, in July 2002. You can
install openEMR on Unix-like systems (Linux, UNIX, and BSD systems), Microsoft systems, Mac OS X
and other platforms. In this you’ll learn how to install openEMR on Linux distros that are open source.
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server Edition: Lean, fast and powerful – Ubuntu Server delivers services reliably,
predictably and economically - and easily integrates with your existing infrastructure. It has almost 100
open-source and proprietary application providers certifying their programs on Ubuntu Server Edition.
Ubuntu 10.04 includes Alfresco, Ingres, IBM, VMware, Yahoo and Zimbra. It also includes improved
installation and management tools for Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC) and Amazon EC2.
Canonical has high hopes that Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Long Term Support) will easily become the platform of
choice for anybody who intends to build and deploy large-scale enterprise infrastructure deployment,
whether you're trying to build the next Facebook, or the next Google, or the next eBay. If you want to start
on [Amazon's cloud-platform] EC2 and migrate to your own managed private cloud, Ubuntu 10.04 is going
to be the platform for you. Lucid Lynx will be the third LTS release by Ubuntu. It’s based on open source
Debian GNU/Linux. LTS releases arrive bi-annually and are supported for three years on desktops and
five years for servers of free security and maintenance updates.
Hands-on Lab Solution:

In this Hands-on Lab session, you’ll learn how to setup virtual network on VMware (you may also use any
other virtual machines like MS VirtualPC, Linux Xen, or VirtualBox from Oracle, or Citrix XenServer). In
this lab session, we’ll concentrate on installing Linux ubuntu 10.04 LTS server which we then use to install
and configure openEMR clinical management application. After completing the initial installation I’ll show
you how to install LAMP server and openSSH as pre-requisites for openEMR application. You will also
learn how to setup secure MySQL database server. Webmin, although not required, is a useful admin tool
1

that I’ll show you how to install. You’ll also have opportunity to carryout some lab assignments at the end
of this training. After completion of this lab session, you should have gained enough skills to install and
setup openEMR on Linux Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server or Desktop.
Part 1: Install & Configure Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server
Step 1: Install Linux Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

In this hands-on lab it’s assumed that you have a good knowledge of Linux Ubuntu 10.04 LTS distro. It’s
also assumed that you already have a Ubuntu 10.04 LTS in place or know how to install setup and
configure one. If not then you can check this out or excellent hands-on manual entitled: “Step-By-Step
Install Guide Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) Server”:
It’s here assumed that your target computer is connected to the internet as we’re going to make use of
packages download and system upgrade.
Step 2: Update Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Operating Systems

It is useful to update your system with the latest components and system patches. The first command
below asks Ubuntu 10.04 to update its database of available packages, and the second command installs
the latest packages based on your current configuration. We run the upgrade command twice to ensure
that any packages that may have post-upgrade dependencies also have an opportunity to be upgraded.
After installing the operating system, login to your machine and ensure you perform software updates to
bring your systems up-to-date.
1. From the command line, enter the following commands, one at a time.
# apt-get update
# apt-get -u upgrade
2. We’re done with this section
3. You’re now ready to begin installing openEMR pre-requisite packages.
Part 2: Install & Configure Pre-requisites
Step 1: Installing Apache5 and PHP5

Apache is one of the most famous web server, which runs on most Linux based servers. With just few
commands you can configure apache to run PHP 5. If didn’t pre-install them during initial installation then
no worries, I’ll show you how to do so.
1. To install Apache2 with PHP5, run:
sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5
2

2. Apache configuration file is located at: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and your web folder is
/var/www.
3. To check whether PHP is installed and running properly, just create a testinfo.php in your
/var/www folder with phpinfo() function exactly as shown below.
vi /var/www/testinfo.php
<?php
/* testinfo.php */
phpinfo();
?>
4. Fire-up your favorite browser and point it to http://ip.address/testinfo.php or http://domain/testinfo.php

and this should show you all your PHP configuration and default settings.
5. You’re done with this section.
Step 2: Installing MySQL Database Server

Installing MySQL database server is always necessary if you are running a database driven ecommerce
site. Remember running mysql server to a fair extend requires at least 256MB of RAM in your server. So
unless you are running database driven sites you don’t absolutely need MySQL.
1. Again if you didn’t pre-install the MySQL database server, then no worries - the following commands
will install mysql 5 server and mysql 5 client.
# sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client php5-mysql
Note: the configuration file of mysql is located at: /etc/mysql/my.cnf
Security Warning! By default there is no root password set for MySQL after initial installation, and
therefore, it is important that you set the password for the ROOT account.
3

Fig. 1
Note: Confirm the password if prompted
2.1 Manually Creating users to use MySQL and Changing Root Password
2. By default mysql creates user as root and runs with no passport. You might need to setup the root
password.
3. To setup MySQL password, run:
# sudo /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
Note: you must never use root password, so you might need to create a user to connect to mysql
database for a PHP script. Alternatively you can add users to mysql database by using a control panel
like Webmin or phpMyAdmin to easily create or assign database permission to users. We will install
Webmin and phpmyadmin during later once we complete basic installation.
4. You can also try remote localhost login as "root" user, as follows:
# sudo mysql -h localhost -u root -p
1. Now let’s test the login for "netadmin" user , as follows:
netadmin@ubuntu:~$ mysql -u netadmin -p

Enter password:
mysql> SHOW DATABASES;

+--------------------+
| Database |
+--------------------+
4

| information_schema |
| datactrbk |
+--------------------+
2 rows in set (0.07 sec)
mysql>exit
BYE
netadmin@ubuntu:~$
6. That's it! MySQL and phpMyAdmin are ready. Log in with your mysql root password and create users
to connect to database from your PHP script.
Step 3: Install OpenSSH Package

In order to support secure remote connections to your server, you will need to install the OpenSSH
package. This package will come in handy in the future to support administrative tasks on the system. By
default this package is already installed in the Ubuntu server option.
1. To install OpenSSH, issue the following command:
$ sudo apt-get install openssh-server -y
2. To log into a remote computer that is running OpenSSH, you use the ssh username@hostname
command, replacing username with a valid user name on the computer you are trying to log into, and
replacing hostname with either the fully qualified host name (e.g. example.com) of your server, or
it’s IP address (e.g. 192.168.83.180), as show in Fig. 2.
5

Fig. 2
Step 4: Install Webmin

Although Webmin is not one of the pre-requisite packages for install openEMR, but is a very handy tool
that all Linux admin should have in place. Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for
Linux/Unix. Using any modern web browser, you can setup user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and
much more. Webmin removes the need to manually edit Unix configuration files like "/etc/passwd",
and lets you manage a system from the console or remotely. Currently there is no Webmin package in
the Ubuntu repositories. This tutorial will explain how to install Webmin on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
You can install Webmin for your server web interface to configure Apache2, MySQL, FTP, DNS servers
and many more. Now we will see how to install Webmin in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
Preparing your system

4. First you need to install the following packages
6

# apt-get install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl

libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl
5. Now download the latest Webmin using the following command or from here
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.530_all.deb
6. Now we have webmin_1.530_all.deb package install this package using the following
command
# dpkg -i webmin_1.530_all.deb
Note: incase you encounter any difficulties in installing dependency; then issue the command:
# apt-get –f install
Fig. 3
8. We’re also done with installing all the necessary pre-requite packages.
Part 3: Install & Configure open EMR

This package is basically a one-click installation/configuration package for Ubuntu and Debian OS that
also configures Apache and PHP. It is extremely simple to install, and we plan to support automated
OpenEMR upgrading in the future. It has been tested in the desktop and server versions of Ubuntu 10.04
Lucid Lynx and 10.10 Maverick Meerkat, and Debian 5 Lenny. In this hands-on lab session, we’re going to
install openEMR on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server.
For Debian distro, a command-line install is recommended. However, in Ubuntu distro installation can
either be done in desktop or command line. In this lab session we’ll use command-line option.
To install openEMR on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, perform the following procedure:
1. Download the openEMR. At the time of writing, version: openemr_3.2.0-1_all.deb
2. Change to the download directory and as root user, issue the following command (Note: you’ll be
required to respond to some query, like MySQL password):
7

# sudo dpkg -i openemr_3.2.0-1_all.deb
Note: incase you encounter and any with this initial command, the run:
# sudo apt-get install -f

.....
......
Creating config file /etc/php5/cli/php.ini with new version
Setting up imagemagick (7:6.3.7.9.dfsg2-1~lenny4) ...
Setting up openemr (3.2.0-1) ...
Configuring OpenEMR
Configuring Apache for OpenEMR
Added entries to apache configuration to secure directories with patient
information.
Placed backup of your original apache configuration file to
/etc/apache2/httpd.conf.BAK
Configuring PHP for OpenEMR
We changed the following setting(s) in your php configuration file at
/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini :
(We have placed a backup of your php configuration at
/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini.BAK)
Successfully set max_execution_time = 60
Successfully set max_input_time = 90
Successfully set display_errors = Off
Successfully set log_errors = On
Successfully set post_max_size = 30M
Successfully set upload_max_filesize = 30M
Restarting Apache service
--------------------------------------------------
You can now use OpenEMR by browsing to:

http://localhost/openemr
user is 'admin' and password is 'pass'
3. As can be observed from the above installation process, you can access to OpenEMR by browsing to
http://localhost/openemr, as shown in Fig. 4.
