Hi, I have been trying to install openemr 3.2 on Ubuntu 10.10 using the command line. (I could not install it with the package installer because on 10.10 this seems not to give you the possibility to follow the installation interactively, which the installation requires). I have used the commands given here: http://www.openmedsoftware.org/wiki/OpenEMR_3.2_Ubuntu-Debian_Package_Installation .

The installation fails. Here is the transcript from the terminal:

Can anyone tell me what has gone wrong (or what I’ve done wrong) and help me correct it?

Many thanks.

hi,

What happens if you replace the command:
sudo aptitude update
with
sudo apt-get update

Hi, thanks for your reply. No, that didn’t change much. I can’t remember what I did, but eventually the terminal started telling me that a whole series of dependencies weren’t installed. After installing all of them, I could install openemr. Never had this on other computers, even running the same system.
