MNCH-Hotline: Maternal Neonatal Child Hotline System

Introduction

MNCH-Hotline is a maternal and neonatal child Hotline System. It is a web based application written on Ruby on Rails framework. It runs on top of OpenMRS data model (c.f. http://openmrs.org/ and http://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Data+Model).

Getting Started

In order to setup the system, do the following:

• Clone it (or download a tar-ball) from github:

  git clone git://github.com:BaobabHealthTrust/mnch-hotline.git
  

• Create a database:

  mysqladmin -u root -p create mnch_hotline
  

• Create database.yml (from database.yml.example) and configure it according to your system and database setups.

• On the commandline, run the initial_database_setup script from the application's directory:

  script/initial_database_setup.sh ENVIRONMENT SITE
  

where ENVIRONMENT corresponds to the one(s) you configured in the database.yml and SITE is the name of the site directory as listed in db/data/. If any of the sites does not suite you, use 'defualts' as site name.

• Run rake db:migrate from the application's directory.
