Dolibarr ERP & CRM is a modern software package that helps manage your organization's activity (contacts, suppliers, invoices, orders, stocks, agenda…).
It's an Open Source Software suite (written in PHP with optional JavaScript enhancements) designed for small, medium or large companies, foundations and freelancers.
You can freely use, study, modify or distribute it according to its licence.
You can use it as a standalone application or as a web application to access it from the Internet or a LAN.
Dolibarr has a large community ready to help you, free forums and preferred partners ready to offer commercial support should you need it
Dolibarr is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version (GPL-3+).
See the COPYING file for a full copy of the license.
Other licenses apply for some included dependencies. See COPYRIGHT for a full list.
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.
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.
-
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 (recommanded 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 install is finished) -
From your browser, go to the dolibarr "install/" page
The URL will depends on how you web setup was setup to point to your dolibarr installation. It may looks like:
http://localhost/dolibarr/htdocs/install/or
http://localhost/dolibarr/install/or
http://yourdolibarrvirtualhost/install/ -
Follow the installer instructions
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.
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!
- At 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 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").
