Hi All
Being completey new to linux, but wishing to learn a little more.
I have made a Ubuntu vm, (20.04.4 LTS server) on my synology rs820+
It is working, I can access it, and I have updated its packages.
Next bit where I come unstuck.
Whats the command line for downloading the software. Where has it put the download.
any help appreciated.
Most walkthroughs are showing a basic 5 or 6 step install, yet, I can’t do the basics of it. 
Did you see the installation instructions in the Wiki? User documentation - Dolibarr ERP CRM Wiki
I have yes.
I typed in terminal
$ sudo dpkg -i dolibarr_15.0.1-4_all.deb
It came back with a error
no such file or directory
I see. You need to first download the package from Sourceforge like so:
sudo wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/dolibarr/files/Dolibarr%20installer%20for%20Debian-Ubuntu%20%28DoliDeb%29/15.0.1/dolibarr_15.0.1-4_all.deb
When the file is downloaded, the command you used should work, if used in the same directory where the download .deb file got stored.
Many thanks for that.
It resolves the host to IP.
Connects on port 443, and comes back with a file not found.
I did type in exactly as above.
Just tried it on a console and it downloaded the file from sourceforge as it should. So something seems to be odd.
My clumsiness.
I have no idea with ubuntu, and I have no idea how to copy and paste to cli from Mac.
It has downloaded.
Apologies for the utter cretin questions, but when I say its my first ever endeavour with ubuntu… it is…
I may be in.
Unpacking all dependencies and enabling dependencies as we speak.
Ok. I have got to the webpage for Dolibarr, so is a good sign.
It does say that mysql is not loaded.
checked in cli with command
sudo service mysql start
It states failed to start. no mysql service found.
ok. looks like the user accounts are not working as the install has maybe created users/passwords etc, which its asking me for, and I don’t have.
I see this is a problem that has been around a while.
Am I easier to just re-install mariadb than try to change or find users passwords etc.
Is there a default password
Got it working.
The installer by all accounts doesn’t look like its installing MariaDB. (I’m utterly new to linux, so maybe it is, I just can’t find it.
I tried this on two different VM’s one running Ubuntu, one running Bullseye, and same results.
Ok, I got to the final page on loading everything up, and still only access to dolibarr was up the install page and no further.
I loaded a fresh copy of MariaDB, with passwords I then new, and access then granted through to the company setup page.
Many thanks, and I hope my head scratching helps other linux starters.
