There are 3 main sections to this installation guide. These are:
If you already have PostgreSQL version 8.0 or above installed, skip step 2. Please note that although this guide is for Windows users, iDART has been tested and will run on Linux. The installation procedure requires the same steps. To see iDART in action on Linux, download the liveCD. Alternatively, install the Sun JRE and PostgreSQL according to the instructions for you platform, then perform steps 3 and 4. Step One: Installation of the Sun Java Runtime Environment (JRE)Download the JRE (version 1.5, also called 5.0) for you platform from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp. The file should be called something like jre-1_5_0_07-windows-i586-p.exeInstall the JRE by running this executable file. You will need to agree to a license agreement. Step Two: Installation of the PostgreSQL Database Management SystemDownload a recent version of PostgreSQL from http://www.postgresql.org/download/ . If you are running Windows, you should download the windows installer package, which will be named something like postgresql-8.1.4-1.zip and will be located somewhere like http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.1.4/win32/ .
You should accept the default values during the installation in most
cases. You will be asked to choose a password on two occasions: a
service password, and a password for postgres, the database superuser.
Remember the password you choose for the database superuser, as
you will need to enter it during step 4. Step Three: Creation of the Test DatabaseYou will need the file minimal.backup, which can be downloaded from the download section of the iDART page, to complete this section.Make sure the Database Management System is running as a service, by clicking "Start Service" in the start menu under the folder PostgreSQL 8.1. Start the PostgreSQL Administration Tool, pgadminIII. It should be located in the start menu under the folder PostgreSQL 8.1. You will need the file minimal.backup, which can be downloaded from the download section of the iDART page, to complete this section. When the tool starts, you should see a server in the left-hand panel. Double-click the server to connect. You will need to enter the password you chose for the postgres database superuser. Expand the server tab by clicking the small cross in the corner. You should now see something like the following:  Right-click on the "Databases" tab , and click "New Database" to create the new database. You should now see something like this:  As in the example above, call the database "pharm" , and set the postgres user as the database owner. You are now ready to restore the database from the file "minimal.backup". To do this:
 Navigate to the file "minimal.backup", and press ok. Your database should now have tables. Step Four: Installation of the Cell-Life iDART softwareYou should be able to run the pharmacy tool installer (clpharm-install-0.9.jar) or the clinic tool installer (clclinic-install-0.9.jar) by double-clicking the file. Choose the appropriate options at each step. Note that when you are asked for your database user name and password, you should use the user "postgres" and the password for this database superuser (the same password you used in the previous step).You should now have the software installed! When you see run the program and are asked to login, the password is 123.
