Dolibarr is a popular open-source ERP and CRM (Enterprise Resource Planning and Customer Relationship Management) software that can help businesses manage their sales, finances, and inventory. If you want to install Dolibarr on MXLinux, follow these steps:
Visit the official Dolibarr website at https://www.dolibarr.org/, and download the latest stable release of the software. As of writing this tutorial, the latest version is 14.0.1.
Before you can install Dolibarr, make sure that your system has all the necessary dependencies installed. Open the terminal application on your MXLinux machine and run the following command to install the required dependencies:
sudo apt-get install apache2 mariadb-server php php-mysql php-gd php-curl php-cli php-xml php-mbstring php-pear php-zip
Next, you need to create a MySQL database for Dolibarr. Run the following command to log in to the MySQL console:

Create a new MySQL user and assign it the necessary permissions:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON dolibarr.* TO 'dolibarruser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';
Replace your_password with a strong password of your choosing.
Extract the Dolibarr archive that you downloaded earlier, and move it to the Apache web server directory:
sudo mv dolibarr-14.0.1 /var/www/html/dolibarr
Change directory to the Dolibarr folder:
cd /var/www/html/dolibarr/
Run the following command to give the web server permission to read and write to the Dolibarr files:
sudo chown www-data:www-data -R *
You can now browse to http://localhost/dolibarr to launch the Dolibarr installation wizard. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. When prompted for database information, enter the information that you created in Step 3.
