| 00:08 | In this tutorial, we will learn -
to install FrontAccounting on the Linux operating system, using the Terminal. |
| 00:17 | To record this tutorial, I am using:
Ubuntu Linux OS version 14.04 and FrontAccounting version 2.3.25 |
| 00:29 | For installation, you will need a working internet connection. |
| 00:34 | The pre-requisites for installation are- |
| 00:37 | a working HTTP web server, e.g: Apache |
| 00:42 | PHP5 installed on the web server, |
| 00:46 | a working MySQL server. |
| 00:49 | Open any web browser and go to this URL: |
| 00:53 | Click on the Download button. |
| 00:56 | Immediately the download begins. |
| 00:59 | Save the tar.gz file that is displayed on the screen. |
| 01:05 | To save, click on the OK button. |
| 01:09 | Next, we need to install apache2 and PHP5 in Ubuntu 14.04 OS. |
| 01:17 | Open the Terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T keys simultaneously, on the keyboard. |
| 01:27 | To update the software source, type the command: |
| 01:31 | sudo space apt hyphen get space update and press Enter. |
| 01:40 | Give your Desktop user-password. |
| 01:45 | Let us install apache2. |

| 03:14 | Repeat the password again, if prompted. |
| 03:18 | From here on, please press Enter after every command that we type on the Terminal. |
| 03:25 | I will not mention this explicitly. |
| 03:29 | Now, we need to create mysql database. |

mysql space hyphen u space root space hyphen p |
| 03:50 | Type mysql root password which is already created. |

| 04:19 | Type the quit command to exit from mysql server. |
| 04:24 | go to the Downloads folder, type:

| 04:40 | So, type: sudo space tar space hyphen zxvf space frontaccounting hyphen 2.3.25.tar.gz |
| 05:00 | I will rename the extracted frontaccounting folder as account. |

mv frontaccounting account |
| 05:12 | To move account folder to apache home directory, |

| 05:47 | To change account folder permission, |
| 05:50 | type: sudo space chmod space -R space 777 space account |
