Open Source POS is a free, open-source, point of sale (POS) software that can be used by small-to-medium businesses. It is an easy-to-use, web-based application that allows inventory management, customer tracking, and sales monitoring.
In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Open Source POS on FreeBSD Latest.
First, connect to your FreeBSD server via SSH.
Run the following command to update the package repository:
pkg update
Once the update is completed, install the Apache web server and PHP:
pkg install apache24 php74 php74-mysqli php74-pdo php74-pdo_mysql
Next, install Git to clone the Open Source POS repository:
pkg install git
Now, navigate to the directory where you want to install Open Source POS:
cd /usr/local/www/
Clone the Open Source POS repository with the following command:
git clone https://github.com/opensourcepos/opensourcepos.git
Once the clone is finished, change the ownership of the Open Source POS directory to the Apache user:
chown -R www:www /usr/local/www/opensourcepos
Next, open the Apache configuration file and add the following lines at the bottom:
Alias /opensourcepos "/usr/local/www/opensourcepos/"
<Directory "/usr/local/www/opensourcepos/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Save and close the file.
Restart the Apache web server to apply the changes:
service apache24 restart
Finally, open your web browser and enter the URL of your FreeBSD server followed by '/opensourcepos'. For example, if your server's IP address is 192.168.0.1, enter 'http://192.168.0.1/opensourcepos'. You should see the Open Source POS login page.
