00:01 Hello and welcome to this tutorial on Installation of FrontAccounting on Linux OS.
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:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/frontaccounting/

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.

03:04 Type the new password as per your choice.
