The SemiVivA package of the VistA software as released on the VA's FTP
site on August 25, 2005 is now available at Source Forge
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/worldvista). To use it, download it
to a directory on your PC, e.g.,
/Distrib/OpenVistA/OpenVistASemiVivAFOIAGold2005.825.tgz. Then, *as
root*, execute the following:

cd /usr/local
tar zxvf /Distrib/OpenVistA/OpenVistASemiVivAFOIAGold2005.825.tgz

Then, for each VistA environment that you want to create, as a normal
user with write permissions to the directory where the environment is
to be created, execute:

/usr/local/OpenVistA/vista --install <directory>

If <directory> is omitted, or if --install <directory> is omitted, you
will be prompted.

Subseqently, to use a previously created VistA environment, execute:

/usr/local/OpenVistA/vista --run <directory>

The script /usr/local/OpenVistA/vista requires that Xdialog
(http://xdialog.dyns.net) be installed on your PC.
