| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| I have already downloaded this tar file on my '''Linux '''machine.

I will now extract the contents of this tar file.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Go to the folder '''install-Genymotion''' and select files one by one

| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Let me open this folder.

You can see the following files-

'''ABTcore'''

'''genymotion'''

'''virtualbox'''

'''install.sh'''

'''adb file'''

'''install-ABT-dependencies.sh'''

'''read_me.rst'''

|-

| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| As learnt earlier, we know that '''ABTcore''' installs the backend.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Point to the '''genymotion'''
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| This folder has '''genymotion''' for '''32(x86)''' and''' 64(x64)''' bit architecture.

'''genymotion''' is a complete set of tools that provides a virtual environment for''' Android'''.

It can be very useful for developers, testers, salesman or even gamers.

| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| '''VirtualBox '''is just a virtual machine which won’t directly affect your machine.

'''VirtualBox '''is necessary for the functionality of '''genymotion'''.

Inside the '''virtualbox '''folder''', '''we will find several '''virtualboxes'''.

They are in software ''package'' format('''.deb''') for-

* Different versions of '''Ubuntu '''and
* Different architectures of the desktop.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Point to '''install-ABT-dependencies.sh'''

* Virtual box and
* '''Genymotion '''on the desktop.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Point to '''install.sh '''file
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| It will first check whether the virtual device is launched or not.

This '''Shell script '''file will install '''ABTCore''' and '''ABT apk.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Point to '''read_me.rst'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"|
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| We have successfully installed '''ABT '''on a '''Linux '''machine through a virtual device '''genymotion.'''

In subsequent tutorials we will learn how to work with '''ABT.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Slide 9
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| '''Note:'''

There might be chances that '''genymotion '''doesn’t work with the given virtual boxes.

In such cases, you will have to manually install virtual box on your computer.

For information on how to do so, visit-''' [https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads https][https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads ://][https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads www][https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads .][https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads virtualbox][https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads .][https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads org][https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads /][https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads wiki][https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads /][https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads Downloads]

To know the architecture of your computer, simply type

'''uname -i '''in the terminal.

Download the virtual box suitable for your computer’s architecture.

Right-click on the downloaded '''.deb''' file.

Select '''Open with Ubuntu Software Center '''and then select '''install '''to install the virtual box.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Point to install.sh file
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| After installation, just run '''./install.sh '''command in the '''terminal '''to start '''ABT.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Slide 11
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Now, we will learn some important features of '''ABT on Desktop'''.

The features are-

* Import report as pdf/csv.
* Import and Export organization.

Note: Here files will be saved on the '''Desktop.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Open '''Ledger '''report
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| I have already created a sample organization called I gave this name for distinctness.'''TK Group.'''

I will open a '''Ledger '''report now.

And I will view the ledger report for''' Sbi''' account.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Point to the top right corner >> click on '''Options '''button
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| In the report, on the top right corner, I will click on '''Options''' button.

It will give me 2 options:

* '''Export as PDF.'''
* '''Export as CSV.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Choose '''Export as PDF'''
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| I will choose '''Export as PDF '''option.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Select '''No.'''
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| I don’t want to set password for file security. So I will select '''No.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Click on '''Save file.'''
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Click on '''Save file '''button.

A folder called '''ABT_PDF '''will get created automatically in the '''Home '''directory'''.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Point to the folder '''ABT_PDF'''
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| All the '''pdf''' files generated will be saved in this '''ABT_PDF '''folder.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Point to the folder '''ABT_CSV'''
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Likewise, the '''csv''' files generated will be saved in '''ABT_CSV '''folder.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"|
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Now, we will learn how to import and export an organization.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Click on '''Export Organization''' option >>

Click on '''Yes.'''
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| First let’s learn how to export an organization.

Click on '''Export Organization''' option and then click on '''Yes.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Point to '''export '''folder
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| This will create a folder called '''export '''in the '''Home '''directory.

All the exported organizations will be saved in this folder.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"|
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| These organizations can be imported on any other '''Linux''' machine, on which '''ABT '''is installed'''.'''

We just need to transfer the '''export '''folder to the '''Home '''directory of the other '''Linux '''machine.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"|
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Before transferring the folder, however, we need to give permissions to the folder.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Type '''sudo chmod 777 export'''
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Open a new '''terminal '''and type '''sudo chmod 777 export.'''

We can now copy the '''export '''folder to the other machine.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Go to the welcome screen of '''ABT'''
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Next, we will learn how to import an organization.

For that, we will go to the '''Welcome screen '''of '''ABT.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Point to '''Import Organization '''option on the sliding drawer on the left.
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| We can see the '''Import Organization '''option on the sliding drawer, on the left.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Click on '''Import Organization.'''

| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Click on '''Import Organization.'''

We can import only those organizations which are present in the '''export '''folder.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Click on''' Import '''>> click on '''Exit.'''
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Click on''' Import '''and then click on '''Exit.'''

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.176cm;"| Click on '''Select Existing Organisation '''button.
