# MUMPS Examples

**MUMPS** ("Massachusetts General Hospital Utility Multi-Programming System"), or **M**, is a general-purpose computer programming language originally designed in 1966 for the healthcare industry. Its differentiating feature is its "built-in" database, enabling high-level access to disk storage using simple symbolic program variables and subscripted arrays; similar to the variables used by most languages to access main memory.

The implementations currently available are:

- [Intersystems (Caché)](http://www.intersystems.com/)
- [FIS (GT.M)](http://www.fisglobal.com/products-technologyplatforms-gtm)
- [MUMPS Database and Language by Ray Newman](http://sourceforge.net/projects/mumps/)
- [Open Mumps](http://www.cs.uni.edu/~okane/)

The examples in this tutorial are run with GT.M.

## Quick Setup

To install GT.M on Debian based OS:

apt-get install fis-gtm

Set up the environment variables:

source /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/fis-gtm/V6.3-003A_x86_64/gtmprofile

Open the GT.M prompt:

gtm

GTM>write "Hello world"
Hello world
GTM>halt

To uninstall GT.M:

apt-get purge fis-gtm

## Run the Examples

Copy the example of your choice into `$gtmdir/$gtmver/r`:

cp -r /mumps-examples/06-databases/basic-sql-blog/* $gtmdir/$gtmver/r

Or alternatively create a symbolic link:

ln -s /mumps-examples/06-databases/basic-sql-blog/* ~/.fis-gtm/V6.3-003A_x86_64/r

Then run the example:

mumps -run ^Main

Then, something happened:
1 apple, 2 pears and 0 oranges were eaten!
Now there are 21 fruits in the basket,
the average fruit value is 7.
