Whatever I could find I installed through Mint installer. That did not give me a solution. Than I installed the Linux version of Github as explained in the Github Manual. No result.
I have Gitg installed with Mint17 installer, but I don get the connection with the Github OpenEMR repository.
Mint got my approval to install over, not next to..... that was the end of Win7 till I do a re-install..... and get my back-up back from Crashplan.
So for the time being I am concentrating on Mint17....... Can you send me the Mint Instructions again on how to get OpenEMR working under Mint17. I tried to do a copy past for a new upgrade version 4.1.x to 4.1.y but could not place the file for upgrading in the OpenEMR root. Probably a sudo instruction is needed.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Brady was kind to offer me access to Github, but I feel that I have no business messing about in terra incognita. Perhaps after Linux Summer School, when I actually know something. Totally clueless about Github. Developers will have to guide you through it.
Installation of OpenEMR in Linux Mint 17
Install 4.1.3 package. The package installer, GDebi, works much better in 17 and faster as well. Upgrade should not be necessary with 4.1.3, unstable Development package.
Move OpenEMR web directory from var/www to var/www/html
Remember to change the timezone.
Get the json extension for phpMyAdmin if missing. No access to database without json.
Never installed the 4.1.3 package, but presume the steps are very similar for the 4.1.2 package, which went well after 3 re-installs of LM 17. For some reason LM does not install easily in my hands, but I've seen online comments that this is not unusual. This also happened in LM 16.
There is one part of the LM Updates which asks the user if a set of old files should be replaced, answer "Keep". When I chose "Replace", either GDebi malfunctions or Firefox hangs when 2 or more tabs are opened.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Regarding installing OpenEMR development code on Mint17, instructions above by Dr. Lee look good. If you want to just get something up and running, can use the following development openemr package(note this one has been fixed to work with Mint 17 and will bring in json extension): http://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu-Debian_OpenEMR_Development_Package_Installation#Command_line_Ubuntu_Installation
This package is mostly meant to test out development code and remove it, test it again and remove it, etc.
I try to get a repository of OpenEMR into my Mint version home computer, but it is not the same as for Windows.
What should I do to make it work? I want to continue with Mint, since my Windows7 crashed and will not be recovered for some time.
Tnx for any advise.
Git tutorial.
To tie you over, until more complex questions for Brady et al.
(Thought 7 got wiped out by the LM 17 installer. Did it crash?)

Hi,
following should install git:
sudo apt-get install git-core
Then you can follow this tutorial to get OpenEMR git/github repo up and running:

For good overview of the above development package, check out http://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu-Debian_OpenEMR_Development_Package_Installation#Overview
Also, if you end up not using one of the ubuntu openemr packages, remember to bring in the dependencies required for openemr:
~~~~~~
sudo apt-get install mysql-server apache2-mpm-prefork libapache2-mod-php5 libdate-calc-perl libdbd-mysql-perl libdbi-perl libhtml-parser-perl libtiff-tools libwww-mechanize-perl libxml-parser-perl php5 php5-mysql php5-cli php5-gd php5-xsl php5-curl php5-mcrypt php-soap php5-json imagemagick
