How to install Tryton on Ubuntu Server Latest

Tryton is an open-source business management software that offers solutions for accounting, inventory, sales, and other business operations. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Tryton on Ubuntu Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Step 1: Update and upgrade the system

Before beginning with the installation, update and upgrade the system to ensure it has the latest packages installed.

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Step 2: Install PostgreSQL database server

Tryton requires a PostgreSQL database server to run. Install it using the following command:

sudo apt install postgresql -y

Once the installation is complete, start the PostgreSQL service and enable it to start automatically at system boot.

sudo systemctl start postgresql
sudo systemctl enable postgresql

Step 3: Install Tryton server and client

Now, we will install Tryton server and client using the following command:

sudo apt install tryton-server tryton-client -y

After the installation is complete, start the trytond service and enable it to start automatically at system boot.

sudo systemctl start trytond
sudo systemctl enable trytond

Step 4: Configure Tryton server

By default, the Tryton server listens on the localhost only. If you want to access Tryton from another computer, you need to bind it to a public IP address. For that, edit the Tryton server configuration file.

sudo nano /etc/tryton/trytond.conf

Add the following lines at the end of the file:

[web]
listen = *:8000

Change the port number according to your preference.

Step 5: Create Tryton database

To create a new Tryton database, use the trytond-admin command.

sudo trytond-admin -c /etc/tryton/trytond.conf -d tryton --all

Change the database name according to your preference.

Step 6: Access Tryton web client

You can access the Tryton web client by opening a web browser and entering the following URL:

http://<server-ip-address>:8000/

Enter the database name and admin password created from the previous step.
