INSTALLING
Simple setup
If you have low technical skills and you're looking to install Dolibarr ERP/CRM in just a few clicks, you can use one of the packaged versions:
- DoliWamp for Windows
- DoliDeb for Debian
- DoliRpm for Redhat, Fedora, OpenSuse, Mandriva, or Mageia
Releases can be downloaded from official website.
Advanced setup
You can use a web server and a supported database (MariaDB, MySQL, or PostgreSQL) to install the standard version.
On GNU/Linux, first, check if your distribution has already packaged Dolibarr.
Generic install steps
-
Check that your installed PHP version is supported see PHP support.
-
Uncompress the downloaded .zip archive to copy the "dolibarr/htdocs" directory and all its files inside your web server root or get the files directly from GitHub (recommended if you know git as it makes it easier if you want to upgrade later):
git clone https://github.com/dolibarr/dolibarr -b x.y(where x.y is main version like 3.6, 9.0, ...) -
Set up your web server to use "dolibarr/htdocs" as root if your web server does not have an already defined directory to point to.
-
Create an empty
htdocs/conf/conf.phpfile and set write permissions for your web server user (write permission will be removed once the installation is finished) -
From your browser, go to the dolibarr "install/" page
The URL will depend on how your web setup was set up to point to your dolibarr installation. It may look like:
http://localhost/dolibarr/htdocs/install/or
http://localhost/dolibarr/install/or
http://yourdolibarrvirtualhost/install/ -
Follow the installer instructions
Saas/Cloud setup
If you don't have time to install it yourself, you can try some commercial 'ready to use' Cloud offers (See https://saas.dolibarr.org). However, this third solution is not free.
UPGRADING
Dolibarr supports upgrading, usually without the need for any (commercial) support (depending on if you use any commercial extensions). It supports upgrading all the way from any version after 2.8 without breakage. This is unique in the ERP ecosystem and a benefit our users highly appreciate!
- First make a backup of your Dolibarr files & then see
- Check that your installed PHP version is supported by the new version see PHP support.
- Overwrite all old files from 'dolibarr' directory with files provided into the new version's package.
- At the first next access, Dolibarr will redirect you to the "install/" page to follow the upgrade process. If an
install.lockfile exists to lock any other upgrade process, the application will ask you to remove the file manually (you should find theinstall.lockfile in the directory used to store generated and uploaded documents, in most cases, it is the directory called "documents").
