In this tutorial, we will be walking through the step-by-step process of installing Tryton on Debian Latest. Tryton is an open source enterprise resource planning (ERP) software built on Python. It offers modules for accounting, inventory management, customer relationship management (CRM), and much more.
Before we begin, you will need to ensure that you have the following:
Before we get started, it's always a good idea to make sure your system is up-to-date. You can accomplish this by running the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Tryton requires a database to run smoothly. In this case, we will be using PostgreSQL. You can install PostgreSQL using the following command:
sudo apt install postgresql postgresql-contrib
Once the installation is complete, you can start PostgreSQL using:
sudo service postgresql start
To install Tryton, we will add Tryton's repository to our system. To do this, first, add Tryton's signing key to your system keyring:
wget -O- http://downloads.tryton.org/tryton.key.asc | sudo apt-key add -
Next, add Tryton's repository to your sources list:
echo deb http://downloads.tryton.org/5.0/debian/ stretch main | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tryton.list
Once you've added Tryton's repository, you can update your system and install Tryton by running:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install tryton-server tryton-modules-all
With Tryton installed, we need to create a database and configure Tryton to use it. You can create a database using the following command:
sudo -u postgres createdb trytondb
Next, we need to create a Tryton configuration file. You can create this file using your favorite text editor:
sudo nano /etc/tryton/trytond.conf
In this file, add the following lines:
[options]
; This is the hostname of your PostgreSQL server
db_host = localhost
; This is the name of the database you created
db_name = trytondb
; This is the username of the PostgreSQL user you created earlier
db_user = postgres
; This is the password for the PostgreSQL user you created earlier
db_password = YOUR_PASSWORD
; This is the IP address and port number for the Tryton server
listen = *:8000
; This enables Tryton's web user interface
xmlrpc = True
Save and close the file by pressing Ctrl+X, Y, and then Enter.
With the database and configuration set up, we're ready to start Tryton. You can start Tryton by running:
sudo service tryton-server start
You can then access Tryton's web interface by navigating to http://localhost:8000 in your web browser.
And that's it! You've successfully installed Tryton on Debian Latest and configured it to use PostgreSQL. From here, you can start exploring Tryton's powerful accounting, inventory, customer management, and more modules. Happy exploring!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
