Dear community
I am happy to announce the native GNU Health GTK client for series 3.2 !
The GNU Health GTK Client
The GTK client allows to connect to the GNU Health server from the desktop.
Starting from GNU Health version 3.2, you can directly download the gnuhealth client from GNU.org or pypi.

The GNU Health client is pip installable :
For a system-wide installation (you need to be root)
# pip install gnuhealth-client
Alternatively, you can do a local installation :
$ pip install --user gnuhealth-client

Alternatively, you can also install it from source :

Technology
The GNU Health GTK client derives from the Tryton GTK client, with specific features of GNU Health and healthcare sector.

transition series for the upcoming 3.4, that will use GTK3+ and Python3

GNU Health Plugins
You can download GNU Health plugins for specific functionality.
For example:
- The GNU Health Crypto plugin to digitally sign documents using GNUPG
- The GNU Health Camera to use cameras and store them directly on the system (person registration, histological samples, etc..)

The GNU Health client configuration file
The default configuration file resides in
$HOME/.config/gnuhealth/gnuhealth-client.conf
Using a custom greeter / banner
You can customize the login greeter banner to fit your institution.
In the section [client] include the banner param with the absolute path of the png file.
Something like
[client]
