# GPL MUMPS by Example
# 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 examples in this tutorial are run with GPL Mumps.
The examples in this tutorial are run with both GPL Mumps and GT.M.
## Prerequisites
### GPL Mumps

## Quick Setup
Download the open source distribution of the [Mumps interpreter](https://www.cs.uni.edu/~okane/source/MUMPS-MDH/mumps-18.02.src.tar.gz) and run the following commands:
### GPL Mumps
To install the open source distribution of the Mumps interpreter:
cd /usr/local/src
wget https://www.cs.uni.edu/~okane/source/MUMPS-MDH/mumps-18.02.src.tar.gz
tar -zxvf mumps-18.02.src.tar.gz
cd mumpsc
sudo ./ConfigureNative.script
sudo ./BuildMumpsWithGlobalsInSingleUserNative.script
./ConfigureNative.script
./BuildMumpsWithGlobalsInSingleUserNative.script
The resulting interpreter is located in `/usr/bin/mumps`.

To uninstall GPL Mumps:
cd /usr/local/src/mumpsc
make uninstall
rm -f /usr/bin/mumps*
### GT.M
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
