Installation

Setting up NexEMR Lite

1

Check system requirements

Confirm the computer meets the requirements above before installing.

2

Download & run the installer

Once released, run the .exe as Administrator and follow the setup wizard.

3

Select one module

Each machine runs one licensed module — choose Reception & Billing, Pharmacy, or Laboratory.

4

Start your free trial

Get full access for 15 days, no credit card required. Enter a licence key any time to continue using the module after the trial.

5

Configure printers & backup

Set up receipt/report printers and a backup destination immediately — see backup guidance below.

6

Install Tailscale (only if using multiple computers)

If Reception, Pharmacy, and Lab run on separate computers, download Tailscale on each machine to enable the one-way pull of patient and doctor details from reception. Skip this if everything runs on one computer.

7

Test before going live

Verify billing and printing work correctly before using the system for real patients.

Before upgrading: back up your hospital database before installing any update. Windows may show an "unrecognised app" warning for unsigned installers — standard SmartScreen behaviour, not a security defect.
Optional

Network setup

NexEMR Lite works standalone on one computer. Only download Tailscale if you're running each module (Reception, Pharmacy, Lab) on a separate computer in the same hospital.

Shared printer

Share one receipt or laser printer across counters via standard Windows network printing (LAN only).

File transfer

Move backup files or CSV exports between machines over LAN or a USB drive.

Cross-module sync (optional)

Only needed if Reception, Pharmacy, and Lab each run on their own computer. Download Tailscale on each machine — it performs a one-way pull of patient and doctor details only, from the reception computer to the standalone pharmacy and lab computers. It does not sync billing, inventory, or other lab/pharmacy data back.

Scope

Data migration

Included

Structured patient, billing, and inventory data from common spreadsheet or CSV exports, mapped to NexEMR Lite's schema at onboarding.

Not included

Migration from other EMR/HMS software or scanned paper records is handled case-by-case and may be chargeable separately.

Backups remain the hospital's responsibility — set a regular backup destination (external drive, network share, or offsite copy) right after installation. Your local database is not continuously uploaded anywhere — see our privacy policy.
