LedgerSMB is a free and open-source accounting software that is widely used by businesses of varying sizes. In order to use LedgerSMB on your POP!_OS Latest, you need to follow some basic steps. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to install LedgerSMB on POP!_OS.
Before you install LedgerSMB, it is important to ensure that your system is up-to-date. Open up your Terminal and execute the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
This command will update the repositories and packages on your system.
LedgerSMB is database-driven software and therefore requires a database server. PostgreSQL is the recommended database server for LedgerSMB. Run the following command to install PostgreSQL:
sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-client -y
Once the installation is complete, start the PostgreSQL service by executing the following command:
sudo systemctl enable postgresql && sudo systemctl start postgresql
Now that we have the PostgreSQL database server up and running, it's time to install LedgerSMB. First, add the LedgerSMB repository to your system by executing the following command:
echo "deb http://apt.ledgersmb.org/ ledgersmb-1.8 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ledgersmb.list
Next, import the GPG key for LedgerSMB by running the following command:
wget -O - https://ledgersmb.org/keys/LSMB_User.asc | sudo apt-key add -
Now update the repositories by running the following command:
sudo apt-get update
Finally, install LedgerSMB by executing the following command:
sudo apt-get install ledgersmb -y
Now that LedgerSMB is installed, we need to initialize it. To do this, we will use the ledgersmb-setup-database command. Run the following command:
sudo ledgersmb-setup-database
This command will walk you through the process of setting up the LedgerSMB database. Once the setup is complete, you can access LedgerSMB by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost/ledgersmb.
