Point to the genymotion

slide 5

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.

Point to virtualbox

slide 6

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.


Point to install-ABT-dependencies.sh This Shell script file will install-
  • Dependencies of ABT
  • Virtual box and
  • Genymotion on the desktop.


Point to install.sh file It will first check whether the virtual device is launched or not.


This Shell script file will install ABTCore and ABT apk.

Point to read_me.rst The read-me file is the customized documentation for genymotion installation.
Open terminal Let’s begin the installation now. So, open the terminal.
In the terminal type

cd Downloads/ABT_for_Linux >> press Enter.

To access the folder files, type

cd Downloads/ABT_for_Linux


and press Enter.

Type,

sudo chmod +x install-ABT-dependencies.sh install.sh

>> press Enter.

In order to give executable permission to the Shell scripts, type-

sudo chmod +x install-ABT-dependencies.sh install.sh


and press Enter.

Click on Yes.

A new window appears. Click on Connect.
Point to credentials

Slide 7

You can enter Username and Password to connect to genymotion cloud.


The default Username & Password provided are

aakashabt and aakashtest1.


So, I will type these and click on Connect.


This will authenticate the user.

Point to the new window After this, a new window appears to create a new virtual device.
Select Custom Phone 7”-4.4.4-API17-1024*600


Click on Next.

Change device name to Aakash.

Again, click on Next.

It will start deploying genymotion virtual device.


This may take some time.

Click the finish button Click the Finish button to close the deployment window.
Click the Play button Now, click the Play button to start your newly created virtual device.
Point to the virtual device We can view the loaded virtual device here.
Slide 8 Note:

Don’t close the launched virtual device.

Don’t close the terminal.

Now let’s proceed to install ABT on genymotion.
Open a new terminal Open a new terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T keys simultaneously.
Open .bashrc file

Type sudo gedit .bashrc.

Press Enter.

Open .bashrc file by typing on the terminal,

sudo gedit .bashrc.


Press Enter.

Add export PATH=/opt:$PATH

in .bashrc file

Now edit the .bashrc file by adding the following line at the end of the file.

For that, press Ctrl+Shift+T keys simultaneously.

Go to the path to install another script file.

Type,

cd Download/ABT_for_Linux/

press Enter

Type ./install.sh >> Press Enter Now, type ./install.sh and press Enter.



Enter the root password

Hit enter.

Enter the root password of your machine, if prompted and press Enter.


This will install ABTcore and apk (backend and frontend) ABT.

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.

Slide 9 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.

by Synaptic Package Manager

Point to install.sh file In future if you want to start ABT, just run ./install.sh command in the terminal .
Slide 10 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.

Open Ledger report 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.

Point to the top right corner >> click on Options button 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.


Choose Export as PDF I will choose Export as PDF option.
Select No. I don’t want to set password for file security. So I will select No.
Click on Save file. Click on Save file button.


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

Point to the folder ABT_PDF All the pdf files generated will be saved in this ABT_PDF folder.
Point to the folder ABT_CSV Likewise, the csv files generated will be saved in ABT_CSV folder.
Now, we will learn how to import and export an organization.
Click on Export Organization option >>

Click on Yes.

First let’s learn how to export an organization.


Click on Export Organization option and then click on Yes.

Point to export folder This will create a folder called export in the Home directory.


All the exported organizations will be saved in this folder.

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.

Before transferring the folder, however, we need to give permissions to the folder.
Type sudo chmod 777 export Open a new terminal and type sudo chmod 777 export.


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

Go to the welcome screen of ABT Next, we will learn how to import an organization.


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

Point to Import Organization option on the sliding drawer on the left. We can see the Import Organization option on the sliding drawer, on the left.



Click on Import Organization.


Click on Import Organization.

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

Click on Import >> click on Exit. Click on Import and then click on Exit.
Slide 11 If you want to use some other 
virtual device, you must remember
2 things:

To install apk, go to

Downloads/ABT for Linux/ABTcore/install/

Type adb -e install ABT.apk in

terminal

To start ABTcore, go to Downloads/ABT for Linux/ABTcore/

Type sudo ./abtstart
