Hello, bonjour and hallo to the community,
after a long and intense search I found Dolibarr, and I think I like it, at least the online demo is impressive. I am a Mac and Ubuntu user, and finding a small business system that works on both platforms is a rare thing. I will either use it on Mac or Ubuntu, I’m not sure yet.
First of all I downloaded and installed the MAMP 2.7.0 version. It runs.
But what do I do now? There is a little window telling me that Apache and MySql work.
There is a little Readme file telling me to “copy my HTML and PHP files in the htdocs folder”. What files? Where do I get them? In the wiki “Installation / Upgrade” chapter there is no word about the Mac version. The htdocs folder is empty. I guess this is just a minor thing until I find the files that are required.
My other computer runs Ubuntu 10.10. I tried to install Dolibarr 2.9.0 for Ubuntu using the download package. It’s a pretty quick download, just 8.8 MB. Then I double-clicked the downloaded file, the Ubuntu software center opens up and tells me that the file cannot be opened.
Next try, using the Terminal. “sudo dpkg -i dolibarr.2.9.0.deb” should do the trick. But it doesn’t. I get an error message immediately, telling me that either the file was not found or an unknown error occured 
I guess, Ubuntu 10.10 might be the problem; it was released in October 2010. The Dolibarr for Ubuntu installer shows “Date added: 08/05/2010”.
So, what I am doing wrong on both operating systems? How do I deserve this? 
And what does “Dolibarr” actually mean?
