Setting up Fasten to Use With Real Medical Data

These instructions will help you set up a version of Fasten that lets you connect to 27,000+ institutions using your existing accounts. It will enable you to connect and retrieve your full electronic medical record and store it within Fasten.

First, if you don’t have Docker installed on your computer, get Docker by following this install guide.

Next, run the following commands from your Mac/Linux terminal or Windows command line to download and start the Fasten docker container.

docker pull ghcr.io/fastenhealth/fasten-onprem:main

docker run --rm \
-p 9090:8080 \
-v ./db:/opt/fasten/db \
-v ./cache:/opt/fasten/cache \
ghcr.io/fastenhealth/fasten-onprem:main

To see if Fasten is running, open http://localhost:9090 in your browser.

Congrats, you’ve successfully started Fasten!
