Unzip Folders and Files

Manual Install Steps

Version 1.2 is released to ACT pilot sites as a zipped folder containing the i2b2 1.7.11 web client with prepackaged ACT plugins named act-webclient. To deploy the web client at your local site user, unzip the file into your web server directory (e.g. /var/www/html/)



Set Up Working Directory

Create the following 'working' directory on your system:  /opt/viewer_jobs (you can rename viewer_jobs if desired)


Edit Configurations


It is a good idea to edit config files locally and then copy all files to the web server.

To ensure that the ACT software works correctly, the ACT_config.php file has to be edited to accommodate your environment. This file can be found in the act-webclient root directory.

Details for each configuration task are shown below.

Validate ACT Web Client installation

After the ACT webclient is successfully deployed to the web server, you can validate the installation using a tool provided with the webclient.

This tool can be accessed at http://url_to_your_webclient/ACT_requirements.php. When your validation is completed, you should remove ACT_requirements.php and ACT_inspector.php
