Point to install.sh file In future if you want to start ABT, just run ./install.sh command in the terminal .
Slide 11 Now, we will learn some important features of ABT on Desktop.


The features are-

  • Import report as pdf/csv.
  • Import and Export 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.
