Installing LedgerSMB 1.3 Series (Open Source Accounting/ERP Application) On Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot)

localhost.

This tutorial is only for LedgerSMB 1.3 series.

For the 1.2 versions please refer to http://www.howtoforge.com/ledgersmb_debian_etch of which author is Falko Timme: Installing LedgerSMB (Open Source Accounting Application) on Debian Etch.

Only with this remark that libmd5-perl is not in the repositories anymore. Hereunder you will find how to download and install this Perl-module.

Thanks to Falko I could explore LedgerSMB in the beginning. Evidently I would like to thank also Chris Travers (www.ledgersmb.org) who has assisted me a lot.

Of course there is no guarantee that this will work in general terms.

This instruction is made with the intention that you can copy and paste the commands into the terminal. In case of sudo commands your password will be asked.

The same goes for the needed changes in some configuration files; evidently the changes in those files have to be done manually.

 

2. Installation Of Required Perl Modules And Required Texlive Modulessudo apt-get install libdata-dumper-simple-perl perl-modules liblocale-maketext-lexicon-perl libdbi-perl libdbd-pg-perl libconfig-any-perl libmime-lite-perl libhtml-linkextractor-perl libnet-tclink-perl libparse-recdescent-perl libmodule-build-perl libperl5.12 libuuid-perl liblocale-gettext-perl libyaml-tiny-perl libtext-iconv-perl libtext-charwidth-perl libmodule-install-perl liblatex-driver-perl

(This is one command.)

There are another three modules to be installed, the first two (SOURCE: Falko Timme):

libclass-std-perl
libconfig-std-perl

But they are not in the repositories. First both should be done by downloading from Sourceforge:

cd /tmp
wget http://mesh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ledger-smb/deb-prereq-1.2.8.tar.gz
tar xvfz deb-prereq-1.2.8.tar.gz
cd deb-prereq-1.2
sudo dpkg -i libclass-std-perl_0.0.8-1_all.deb libconfig-std-perl_0.0.4-1_all.deb

The last one is:

libmd5-perl

This is to be downloaded from Debian:

cd /tmp
wget http://ftp.debian.org/pool/main/libm/libmd5-perl/libmd5-perl_2.03-1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i libmd5-perl_2.03-1_all.deb

In connection with the above mentioned installed Perl modules a few texlive modules should be installed also. I would like to emphasize if those are not installed Perl will not work with the LedgerSMB!!!

sudo apt-get install texlive-fonts-extra texlive-latex-extra-doc texlive-lang-all texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-recommended texlive texlive-doc-en

This could take long time (700MB)!!!

Unfortunately one needed Texlive-module is not in the repositories:

texlive-generetic-extra

This is going to be downloaded from Ubuntu: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/texlive-generic-extra

Just copy and paste this in your browser in order to enter this website. Under the page you will see this: "Download texlive-generic-extra" and go to
"all" under "architecture", then choose a "site" (a lot) for download and choose save.

In order to install this do the following:

cd
