<strong>Starting GNUmed</strong>
<p></p>
As you might know GNUmed can be run on different operating systems such as GNU/Linux, Apple's Mac OSX and MS Windows. Because of that, there is no single way of starting GNUmed.
<p></p>
On Windows, you can start the GNUmed client via <em>Start menu > Programs > GNUmed > GNUmed</em>.
<p></p>
On GNU/Linux <ul>
<li> if you installed from the Debian package <ul>
<li> under Gnome, mouse to the menu <em>Applications > Office > GNUmed</em>
</li> <li> under KDE, mouse to the menu <em>Debian > Applications > Tools > GNUmed client</em>
</li> <li> or, call <code>gnumed</code> from the command line
</li></ul>
</li> <li> if you installed from CVS or tarball then, from the command line, call (<code>./</code>) the made-executable script <code>/some-directory/gnumed/gnumed/client/gm-from-vcs.sh</code> <br>
</li></ul>
<p></p>
Remember, if there would be any questions about any problem(s) that you had, some answers may be able to be found in a ".log" file, which can be found in the same folder or directory as the launched version (copy) of the GNUmed client is residing.
<p></p>
<a name="LoggingIn"></a>
<strong>Login dialog</strong>
<p></p>
Inside the login dialog you are asked to provide the login and password to be able to access GNUmed. You can obtain this information from your database administrator.
<p></p>
By default, GNUmed will offer to connect to one of the <a href="WebHome.html#PublicServers" class="foswikiCurrentWebHomeLink">public test servers</a>. Setting up your own server/database is covered in a <a href="InstallerGuideHome.html#BackendInstall">separate topic</a>. The servers/databases to which a client can connect are defined as a "backend profiles" in any of the <a href="GmManualConfigFiles.html">configuration files</a>.
<p></p>
Hit <em>[OK]</em> and wait for GNUmed to power up the user interface. Meanwhile, you are shown which plugins GNUmed is about to load, and you will be notified about success or failure.
<p></p>
Currently (10/2008) there exists one public GNUmed test server. When accessing this server from around the world, be prepared to wait 30-60 seconds for test data to be fetched and processed:
<p></p>
<a name="PublicServers"></a> <ul>
<li> <a href="http://publicdb.gnumed.de" target="_top">publicdb.gnumed.de</a>, hosted in Germany
</li></ul>
<p></p>
Try to login in with the following credentials:
<p></p>
<strong>server:</strong> publicdb.gnumed.de (this is the default) <br>
<strong>user:</strong> any-doc (this is the default) <br>
<strong>password:</strong> any-doc
<p></p>
If you have installed a local server, use
<p></p>
<strong>server:</strong> local database (available in the pop-up) <br>
<strong>user:</strong> any-doc<br>
<strong>password:</strong> any-doc
<p></p>
or ask your administrator for a real GNUmed login.
<p></p>
If you ran into problems, and would like to help the GNUmed team to diagnose them, then at your next login check-mark the option "Debug mode". See if you can reproduce a problem that you may like to report. "Debug mode" will generate a more-detailed log, which (if you would forward it, taking account of any private data) will better-help the team.
