What is Koha?

First let's see what is Koha.
  • Koha is a free and open source Integrated Library Management System.
  • Koha is World Wide Web technologies-compliant and hence is platform independent.
  • It has powerful features like Full text searching.
  • It uses MySQL database as a backend.
Please note-

To install Koha, one needs to be root user

i.e. one needs to have admin rights.

Type the sudo password and press Enter. Then type the sudo password and press Enter.
Point to “#” sign. Notice that the “$” (dollar) prompt is replaced by “#” (hash) symbol.
Slide Number 6 If you are working under a proxy network then configure the proxy.

If not, then you can skip these steps.

Slide Number 7 The command for the proxy set-up is
