<!--
==Requirements==
To execute the ARIS you will need to install beforehand some required software on your system that will allow you to run ARIS without problems.
These are simply two popular programming environments used in the development of the system.
Installing these software dependencies should take less than 5 minutes.
This is the mandatory software you need to install:
· Python 3.7 (The program runs with other Python versions, but its correct working is not guaranteed)
· Node.js (Latest version preferred)
===Installing Python===
You will find the proper python installer on its official page [https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-379]
Once you are on the "Files" section of that page (see the image below), you will have to choose the executable installer for your operating system by clicking on the version name, in this case Windows.

Open the installer that you have downloaded to continue with the python installation. It will open a new window where some options need to be selected for the correct installation.
You will have to select the Install launcher for all users option and the Add Python 3.7 to PATH option. Once you selected it, continue with the installation by clicking on Install Now.

''Note: If you can`t select the Install launcher for all users option that means that you had installed a python launcher before only for the current user. You will need to remove the Python launcher on the Add/Remove Programs menu of Windows control panel.''
Before finishing the installation you have to select the Disable path length limit option. Then you will have successfully completed the python installation.

If you want to check that python was successfully installed, open a MSDOS window (just type "cmd" in the MSWindows start menu) and write the following commands in that terminal:
''python --version''
''pip --version''
If everything went well, these commands will show their versions.
===Installing Node.js===
You will find the proper Node.js installer on its official page which can be accessed from the following link: https://nodejs.org
When in the official page, proceed to download the windows installer by clicking on the LTS version, as is showed seen in the following image:
[[File:Node1.png|none|400px|thumb| Installation option from [https://nodejs.org Node.js web]]]
Once you have downloaded the installer, execute it. A window with the instructions to install Node.js will be displayed.
Its installation is as simple as clicking the following button in each window (accepting the terms of the License Agreement). The following images show a visual guide of the same.

|-

If everything went well, a final window will be displayed with a Finish button that you need to click to complete the installation.
If you want to check that Node.js was successfully installed, open a MSDOS window and write the following commands:
''node --version''
''npm --version''
If everything went well, these commands should show their versions.

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.

Once you have run the application for the first time it will contain the "admin" user, whose password is also "admin". You are advised to change it immediately.
Congratulations! you have successfully installed and executed the new ARIS application.

Important note: that the system has three different roles [[ARIS:System administration#Roles|roles]] with different and complementary functionalities.
==Initial configuration==
As a first important note, the system has three different roles [[ARIS:System administration#Roles|roles]] with different and complementary functionalities.
Consequently, the first necessary thing is to create two more users with roles ''Laboratory Technician'' and ''Laboratory supervisor''.

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.

When yo want to close the application you will need to execute two easy steps.
When yo want to close the application you will need to follow two easy steps.
· The first step is to close the browser tab where the application is running. This will only close the visual part of the application so be surre to execute the step two to finalize properly the application.
· The first step is to close the browser tab where the application is running. This will only close the visual part of the application (i.e., opening again the browser and providing the same URL will still take you to the application), so be sure to execute the second step to actually interrupt the services running in the background.
· In the second step you will need to right click on the ARIS icon located at the "hide icon menu" in the task bar, then click on close. This will finalize the services that were running on the back, it is important to finalize the services or you will not be able to reopen the application again until those are closed.

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.
· No(Defer for 30 days): If you click this option, the software will not be updated and no update message will appear until 30 days have passed.
· Remind me later: Clicking on this option will not update the software, but the next time you launch the system, the update message will appear again.
Note that if you had internet connection when you first ran the application, the update window will appear.
