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. :wink: ---

Did you see the installation instructions in the Wiki? [User documentation - Dolibarr ERP CRM Wiki](https://wiki.dolibarr.org/index.php?title=User_documentation) ---

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: ```auto 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. ![Screenshot 2022-04-22 at 13.58.36](https://www.dolibarr.org/forum/uploads/dolibarrorg/original/2X/f/fd510bc1b589a698beaec6d11ff3a6a1fe087a2a.jpeg) ---

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.
