Installing ARIS[edit]

It is possible that when installing or running the application for the first time an administrator permissions window will appear, don't worry, you just need to accept it since the application will need the permissions to write the necessary files on your disk.

To start the installation, you have to execute the ARIS_Setup that is the installer of the application, which is available in different languages (notice that this is different from the language of the application itself). This will open a window where you can select the language of the installation instructions. Choose the language you are most familiar with.

Running ARIS
[edit]

If you created a link in your desktop, just double-click it. Otherwise, go to the folder where you installed it ("C:\Users\Public\ARIS" by default in MSWindows) and double click "ARIS.exe". The execution will open the ARIS services that will run in the back, you will find a new icon at the "hide icon menu" on the taskbar (on the bottom right screen). In addition, it will also open a new browser tab with the application running. Please be patient, this will take a while as the application need to run first the services in order to work properly.

Initial configuration[edit]

The initial setting contains some real values for most of the features like laboratory areas or services, but not for other configurable lists of values like regions, locations or health facilities which only contain a fake exemplary instance. This exemplary instances should be replaced by real ones before starting to introduce patients and requests in the system. This should be done through the Configuration functionalities.

To update the application you will only need an Internet connection. Once you are connected to the Internet, if there is a new version of ARIS, the next time that you open the application a pop-up window will appear with three options asking you to update it. The behavior of these options is described below:

· Update now: This option will open a window with a progress bar and a button that you must press to start the update of the software, once this is updated (should take a few minutes), a message window will appear with a successful message, when you click on Accept the program will start with the last version.
