INSTALLING

There is a lot of different solutions to install Dolibarr.

Using packages

If you have low technical skills and you're looking to install Dolibarr ERP/CRM with just a few clicks, you can use one of the packaged versions (see next chapter if you have IT knowledge):

• DoliWamp for Windows
• DoliDeb for Debian, Ubuntu
• DoliRpm for Red Hat, Fedora, openSUSE, Mandriva or Mageia
• The Docker image (see chapter "Using Docker")

Releases can be downloaded from official website.

Using the generic step by step setup (recommended for IT users)

You can use any web server supporting PHP (Apache, Nginx, ...) and a supported database (MariaDB, MySQL or PostgreSQL) to install the standard version:

• Verify 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 the main version like 9.0, 19.0, ...)

• Set up your web server to use dolibarr/htdocs as root if your web server does not already define a directory to point to.

• Create an empty htdocs/conf/conf.php file 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 depend on how your web configuration directs 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

Using Docker images

Dolibarr is also available as a Docker image. Installation instructions are available here.

Using Easypanel

Easypanel is a self-hosted Docker deployment platform, and Dolibarr has a one-click deployment template there.

Using RepoCloud

Using ready to use SaaS/Cloud offers

If you lack the time to install it yourself, consider exploring commercial 'ready-to-use' Cloud offerings (refer to https://saas.dolibarr.org). Keep in mind that this third option comes with associated costs.

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!
