If you have low technical skills and you're looking to install Dolibarr ERP/CRM in just a few clicks, you can use one of the packaged versions:
- [DoliWamp for Windows](https://wiki.dolibarr.org/index.php/Dolibarr_for_Windows_(DoliWamp)
- [DoliDeb for Debian](https://wiki.dolibarr.org/index.php/Dolibarr_for_Ubuntu_or_Debian

Releases can be downloaded from official website.
You can use a Web server and a supported database (MariaDB, MySQL or PostgreSQL) to install the standard version.
-
Check 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 (recommanded if you known git):
git clone https://github.com/dolibarr/dolibarr -b x.y
(where x.y is main version like 3.6, 9.0, ...) -
Set up your web server to use "dolibarr/htdocs" as root if your web server does not have an already defined 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 depends on how you web setup was setup to point to your dolibarr installation. It may looks like:
http://localhost/dolibarr/htdocs/install/
or
http://localhost/dolibarr/install/
or
http://yourdolibarrvirtualhost/install/
-
Follow the installer instructions
If you don't have time to install it yourself, you can try some commercial 'ready to use' Cloud offers (See https://saas.dolibarr.org). However, this third solution is not free.
- At first make a backup of your Dolibarr files & than see https://wiki.dolibarr.org/index.php/Installation_-_Upgrade#Upgrade_Dolibarr
- Check that your installed PHP version is supported by the new version see PHP support.
- Overwrite all old files from 'dolibarr' directory with files provided into the new version's package.
- At first next access, Dolibarr will redirect your 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 theinstall.lock
file into the directory used to store generated and uploaded documents, in most cases, it is the directory called "documents").
Note: migration process can be safely done multiple times by calling the /install/index.php
page
