What desktop needed to Run OpenEMR

Situation
I installed Openemr on my personal computer (NOT server machine) successfully. But is tooooo slow to work.

  1. Do I need a server machine to run openemr locally?
  2. I will try AWS and do I still need a server machine, or any laptop or desk will work?
    … sorry, I am new user.

OpenEMR Version
I’m using OpenEMR version 5.0.1

Browser:
I’m using: chrome

Operating System
I’m using: 64-bit OS windows 8.1 ---- low end computer

thanks a lot

System 76 offers the Merekat which is a pretty powerful device for a little more than $500. What is the size of your patient database?

Thank you @growlingflea.
I don’t have much large patient database as a specialty.
Is Meerkat a server machine?
Do I need to buy it to run OpenEMR locally or for AWS or Google cloud?
thx a lot.

hi @dulles2018, did you download and install the XAMPP package, http://downloads.sourceforge.net/openemr/xampp-openemr-5.0.1.4.zip ?

@stephenwaite
yes I did but cannot run as possible on a wrong machine.-- very slow.
thx

The Merekat would be a local machine.

a small local install of OpenEMR should run fine on just about any pc made in the last 10 years3664956027_bd2d79a393_z from Chris Limb, https://www.flickr.com/photos/catmachine/3664956027/in/photostream, license /https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/legalcode,

@stephenwaite, thanks a lot.
I will try one more time to install in another local machine - a new HP laptop with i5 2.7Ghz processor, 4GB RAM, 64-bit OS.
Can I run XAMPP in another machine?

Thanks

Hi Stephen and all.
Thank you all for the help. Finally I got the openemr running fast enough in my laptop.
One thing is strange:

When I click Calendar, it won’t show up until I click its refresh button. But if I click Calendar refresh at the first time, calendar will show in one second.

What is the problem?
thx

No this problem in Chrome, but only in IE.
thx

Hi
Can anyone help for insert CAMOS?
When I click install DB second time(I should wait for the first click to finish), it gave me this message
