Hi Misha

I first step would seem to be to get you to download and install GNUmed from 
git (source)

- launch a client instance from the command line script
- connect to the public (slow, in Germany) database

Once you manage the above,

- set up a local database:
        - set up PostgeSQL in the manner required
        - bootstrap a database
        - connect to it with your local client

Let us know any questions.

What OS (if Linux, what distro, version) are you running?
