Installation
Step 1: Install a Java Runtime Environment
You will need a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to run Redmatch. To install a JRE go to https://openjdk.java.net/install/ and follow the installation instructions for your platform.
Make sure a JRE is correctly installed by opening a command window and typing the following command:
java -version
The command should return a version number.
Step 2: Install the Visual Studio Code Extension
A Visual Studio Code extension is now available in the Visual Studio Marketplace. In the extensions tab, search for ‘Redmatch’ and then click on the Install button. Once the extension is installed, Visual Studio Code will recognise .rdm files and will automatically do syntax highlighting, validation and auto-completion. You can also run the transformation and generate a graph visualisation of the FHIR resources by right-clicking on a Redmatch rules file.
Alternatively, a .vsix file is distributed as part of the Redmatch release in Github. The current version can be downloaded from the releases page. The extension can be installed using the vsce tool (instructions are available at https://code.visualstudio.com/api/working-with-extensions/publishing-extension#packaging-extensions).
