Family Accounting Tool, also known as FACTO, is an accounting software designed for personal and family use. It allows you to manage your finances, track your expenses and income, and generate reports. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing FACTO on FreeBSD Latest.
Note: This tutorial assumes that you have basic knowledge of FreeBSD and command-line interface.
Before installing FACTO, you need to make sure that your system has all the required dependencies installed. These include:
You can install these dependencies using the following command:
sudo pkg install python37 py37-pip git
To clone the FACTO repository, navigate to the directory where you want to install FACTO and execute the following command:
git clone https://github.com/nymanjens/facto.git
This will create a directory named facto containing all the necessary files required for running FACTO.
Navigate to the facto directory and install the required python packages using the following command:
pip install -r requirements.txt
This will install all the necessary python packages required for FACTO to run.
FACTO uses SQLite as its database backend. To initialize the database, navigate to the facto directory and execute the following commands:
python3 manage.py migrate
python3 manage.py createsuperuser
The first command will create the necessary database tables, while the second command will create a superuser account, which you can use to log in to the web interface.
To run the FACTO server, execute the following command:
python3 manage.py runserver
This will start the server on http://localhost:8000, and you can access it using a web browser. You can also specify a different port number by appending PORT_NUMBER to the above command.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed FACTO on FreeBSD Latest. You can now use it to manage your finances, track your expenses, and generate reports. If you have any questions or issues, you can refer to the FACTO documentation or contact the developer team for assistance.
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!
