How to Install Tryton on FreeBSD Latest

Tryton is an open-source business application platform that provides various modules for different business areas such as accounting, finance, inventory management, and more. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing Tryton on FreeBSD Latest.

Prerequisites

Before starting the installation, you need to make sure that your FreeBSD system is up-to-date and has the necessary dependencies installed. To do that, you can run the following command:

sudo pkg update && sudo pkg upgrade -y

You will also need to install some packages that are required for Tryton to work properly. Run the following command to install these dependencies:

sudo pkg install -y py37-pip py37-setuptools py37-gtk3 py37-openssl py37-cryptography py37-psycopg2 py37-lxml py37-werkzeug py37-yaml

Installing Tryton

Once you have installed the required dependencies, you can proceed with the Tryton installation.

  1. First, you need to use pip to install Tryton. Run the following command:

    sudo pip install trytond
    
  2. Once the installation is complete, you need to create a system user for Tryton. To do this, run the following command:

    sudo pw user add tryton -c "Tryton User" -d /nonexistent -s /usr/sbin/nologin
    
  3. Next, you need to create a directory to store the Tryton configuration files. Run the following command to do this:

    sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/tryton/
    
  4. Now, you need to copy the Tryton server configuration file to the newly created directory. Run the following command to copy the file:

    sudo cp /usr/local/share/trytond/trytond.conf /usr/local/etc/tryton/
    
  5. Once the file is copied, you need to edit it to suit your needs. Run the following command to edit the file:

    sudo nano /usr/local/etc/tryton/trytond.conf
    
  6. In the file, you will find several sections, including [database], [web], and [email]. You need to configure these sections to meet your requirements. For example, you can specify the database type, username, password, and more.

  7. After making the required changes to the trytond.conf file, you can start the Tryton server by running the following command:

    sudo -u tryton trytond --config=/usr/local/etc/tryton/trytond.conf
    

    This will start the Tryton server.

Accessing Tryton

Once the Tryton server is up and running, you can access it using the Tryton client. You can download the client from the Tryton website.

  1. Once you have downloaded the client, you need to install it on your local machine.

  2. Run the client, and you will be prompted to enter the server details.

  3. Enter the server IP address, port number (default is 8000), and database name.

  4. Click on the Connect button, and you will be logged in to Tryton.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Tryton on FreeBSD Latest.
