1) Download and Verification

Download the appropriate package for your distribution. wget will save the file with the correct name automatically because the URL ends with the filename:

RPM — medconnect-2.0.0-1.x86_64.rpm

wget https://www.medconnect.shamconsultancy.com/download/2.0.0/medconnect-2.0.0-1.x86_64.rpm
# Verify download integrity
sha256sum medconnect-2.0.0-1.x86_64.rpm

TAR.GZ — medconnect-v2.0.0-linux-x64.tar.gz

wget https://www.medconnect.shamconsultancy.com/download/2.0.0/medconnect-v2.0.0-linux-x64.tar.gz
# Verify download integrity
sha256sum medconnect-v2.0.0-linux-x64.tar.gz

DEB — medconnect_2.0.0_amd64.deb

wget https://www.medconnect.shamconsultancy.com/download/2.0.0/medconnect_2.0.0_amd64.deb
# Verify download integrity
sha256sum medconnect_2.0.0_amd64.deb

If the fingerprint does not match, re-download; if the mismatch persists, contact the distributor.

2) Installation

Fedora / RHEL / CentOS — .rpm package

sudo dnf install ./medconnect-2.0.0-1.x86_64.rpm

All distributions — generic script (tarball)

tar -xzf medconnect-v2.0.0-linux-x64.tar.gz
cd medconnect-2.0.0
sudo bash install-linux.sh

Ubuntu / Debian — .deb package

sudo dpkg -i medconnect_2.0.0_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install -f        # resolve missing dependencies

The installer automatically copies files to /opt/medconnect/, creates a systemd service named medconnect, opens port 2021, and starts the service with a health check.

3) Verify It's Running

sudo systemctl status medconnect      # must be active (running)
curl -s http://localhost:2021/health  # health endpoint

Then open http://localhost:2021 in your browser to see the login screen.
