Posio is an open-source, lightweight POS (point of sale) system designed for small businesses. It's available on Github for anyone to download and use. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Posio on a Manjaro Linux system.
Before we begin, you'll need to have the following:
First, you need to install some dependencies for Posio. Open a terminal window and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S python-pip python-pyqt5 pyqt5-common git
This will install pip (Python's package manager), PyQt5 (Python bindings for the Qt toolkit), and git.
Next, you need to clone the Posio repository from Github. Open a terminal window and run the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/abrenaut/posio.git
cd posio
This will clone the Posio repository into a folder named "posio."
Now that you have cloned the Posio repository, you need to install it. Open a terminal window, navigate to the "posio" folder, and run the following command:
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
This will install all the necessary requirements for Posio.
Once the installation is complete, you can run Posio by running the following command in the terminal window:
python posio.py
This will start the Posio application.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Posio on your Manjaro Linux system. Now you can use it to simplify your business' POS needs.
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!
