Dolibarr ERP & CRM is a modern software package that helps manage your organization's activities (contacts, quotes, invoices, orders, stocks, agenda, human resources, ecm, manufacturing…).

It's an Open-Source Software suite (written in PHP with JavaScript enhancements) designed for small, medium or large companies, foundations and freelancers.

You can freely use, study, modify or distribute it according to its license.

You can use it as a standalone application or as a web application to access it from the Internet or from 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

LICENSE

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.

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 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 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!

Follow these step-by-step instructions to seamlessly upgrade Dolibarr to the latest version:

At first make a backup of your Dolibarr files & then see
Verify that your installed PHP version is supported by the new version see PHP support.
Overwrite all old files from the 'dolibarr' directory with files provided in the new version's package.
At your next access, Dolibarr will redirect you to the "install/" page to follow the upgrade process. If an install.lock file exists to lock any other upgrade process, the application will ask you to remove the file manually (you should find the install.lock file in the directory used to store generated and uploaded documents, in most cases, it is the directory called "documents").
