Running EWD.js on Linux Platforms4:09
Explore how to install and run ewd.js on linux across flavors such as Ubuntu, with native, VM, cloud, and container options; Docker is not covered in this course.

Installing VMWare Player4:12
This lecture will show you how to install the free VMWare Player on a Windows machine.

There are many other choices of hypervisor for you to use, so don't feel you'e limited to VMWare Player: it's just a convenient and free option for the Windows user, and I've found it to be a good, easy to use and reliable choice.
Installing PuTTY2:30
This lecture will show you how to install puTTY on a Windows Machine. puTTY gives you terminal / command-line access to a Linux machine over an SSH connection
Installing WinSCP2:56
This lecture will show you how to install the free, Open Source WinSCP application on a Windows machine. WinSCP is a great tool that provides file manager access to a Linux machine over an SSH connection. It also allows you to create and edit files on the Linux machine via an editor (Notepad by default) on your Windows machine.
Useful tools for the OS X user3:14
This lecture reviews the tools and applications that I've found to be useful when using Linux Virtual Machines and Amazon EC2 Linux instances from within OS X
Creating a Ubuntu 14.04 Server Virtual Machine15:09
In this lecture I'll show you how to create a Ubuntu 14.04 Server Virtual Machine (VM) that you can use with VMWare Player or whatever other virtualisation application you choose to use. The installation will be optimised for use as Virtual Machine.
Using puTTY and WinSCP to access a Linux VM from Windows12:03
In this lecture you'll learn how to access your newly-created Ubuntu Linux VM by using puTTY and WinSCP on a Windows machine.
Creating a Ubuntu 14.04 Server EC2 Instance10:41
In this lecture I'll show you how to create an Amazon Web Services EC2 instance, running Ubuntu 14.04 Server
Using puTTY and WinSCP to access an Amazon EC2 Ubuntu Linux Server7:20
In this lecture you'll learn how to access an Amazon EC2 instance running Ubuntu Linux from puTTY and WinSCP on a Windows machine

An overview of the pre-built EWD.js installers for Linux7:01
This lecture takes a quick look at the pre-built installers that are available for creating Linux-based EWDjs systems
Installing a GlobalsDB-based EWD.js system on a Ubuntu Linux Server8:17
In this lecture I'll show you how to run our installation script that automatically installs the GlobalsDB database and EWDjs, configures it and sets it all up ready for you to run.
Installing a GT.M-based EWD.js system on a Ubuntu Server6:56
In this lecture I'll show you how to run our installation script that automatically installs the GT.M database and EWDjs, configures it and sets it all up ready for you to run.
Installing a Cache-based EWD.js system on a Linux platform12:18
In this lecture I'll show you how to run or adapt our installation script that installs Cache and EWDjs and configures it ready for use.

Running EWD.js as a Service on Linux with GlobalsDB8:48
Configure ewd.js as a Linux background service using Upstart, start GlobalsDB, and enable boot auto-start; monitor /var/log/ewdjs.log and test auto-restart.
Running EWD.js as a Service on Linux with GT.M7:00
Install and run EWD.js as a service on Linux using upstart with GT.M as the database, monitor logs, and verify automatic startup after reboot.
Running EWD.js as a Service on Linux with Cache7:38
Learn how to run EWD.js as a cache-based service on Linux using an upstart script, configure it to start at boot, monitor logs, and verify auto-restart after reboots.

Introduction2:15
Updating the dEWDrop Virtual Machine to run EWD.js with the VistA EHR10:12
This lecture will show you how to upgrade the dEWDrop Virtual Machine so that it can run EWDjs
Running EWD.js as a Service on a dEWDrop System3:52
This lecture will show you how to run EWDjs as a service on the dEWDrop Virtual Machine
Using the OSEHRA Installer to create an EWD.js-enabled VistA EHR system13:20
This lecture will show you how to use the OSEHRA installer, to create an EWDjs-enabled VistA system

Requirements

Students should know how to use VMWare or an equivalent Virtual Machine environment; and/or
Students should have an Amazon Web Services account and know how to start up an Amazon EC2 instance
Students should be familiar with the Linux Operating System

Description

This course is designed for people who are interested in getting the EWDjs development and run-time platform up and running on a Linux System. The course will focus on the Ubuntu 14.04 Server flavour of Linux, running as either a Virtual Machine or an Amazon Web Services EC2 instance.

In the case of the Ubuntu Virtual Machine, I'll demonstrate how things are done using VMWare, but the steps and approach will be applicable to other hypervisors such as VirtualBox

For the Linux user and EWDjs newbie, this course is an ideal pre-cursor to my other beginner's course: "Getting Started with EWDjs". Whilst the latter course focuses on developing using a Windows platform, there's really no difference in development approach apart from file path syntax.

Who this course is for:

This course is aimed at anyone wishing to get EWD.js up and running on Linux platforms
It is not suitable for WIndows users, or anyone wanting to learn how to develop applications with EWD.js
