| We have successfully installed ABT on a Linux machine through a virtual device genymotion. | |
| Slide 9 | Note:
There might be chances that genymotion doesn’t work with the given virtual boxes. In such cases, manually install virtual box on your computer using Synaptic Package Manager. |
| Point to install.sh file | In future if you want to start ABT, just go to the path & run ./install.sh command in the terminal . |
| Slide 10 | Now, we will learn some important features of ABT on Desktop.
The features are-
Note: Here files will be saved on your system. |
| 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.

| 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 slide 11 | Open a new terminal and type sudo chmod 777 export.
We can now copy the export folder to the other machine. Note: While transferring export folder to another machine, maintain a backup of export folder of that machine. As the export folder will overwrite the other export folder. |
| 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. |
