Hello @sscotti,
Most folks from the Bahmni Dev team work on a Mac OS X. To do that, we run Bahmni on Vagrant (CentOS Virtual Box) on the Mac. You can follow the steps mentioned here to setup Bahmni on your machine here:
We haven’t tried Parallels, and I don’t know of any way to make RPMs run on Mac. Some parts of Bahmni, run on Java… like the OpenMRS backend / MYSQL, which can of course also run natively on Mac, since all you need is JDK/JVM on your Mac for that.
Overall for setting up Bahmni for Development / Coding, you can refer to this document:
I am unsure of Orthanc / others. Haven’t done any work in this space. Is it also an open source option? To see how Bahmni integrates / works with PACS/DCM4CHEE, this is a good article (besides the wiki documentation):
If you can help us understand Orthanc better, and try it out with Bahmni, would be good!
Hopefully someone else from the OpenMRS / Bahmni community can share their experience on alternative DICOM viewers.
