LemonPOS: Linux Point of Sale

“I work with Quickbooks Point of Sale which is considered, by
most, to be the de facto standard of Point of Sale systems. The
clients that use Quickbooks POS are medium to large businesses that
can actually afford both the software and the support necessary to
ensure the system is up and running 24/7. But for those clients
that don’t have the budget to afford such a system, I have to turn
to other choices. For the longest time I had adopted NolaPro
– which wasn’t open source and difficult to teach. That isn’t
to say it’s a bad choice, it’s not. In fact NolaPro is an
outstanding system that has a TON of features (including a full
accounting, ecommerce, and inventory system). But for those who
need a simpler inventory/POS system, and want this system to run on
the Linux operating system, what is the best option? One choice is
LemonPOS.

“When I first ran into LemonPOS it had serious installation
issues. That has since gone away. Now, getting an instance of Lemon
POS is not nearly as difficult as you would expect. In this
tutorial I am going to show you how to get LemonPOS up and running
and then show you around the tool a bit. NOTE: You will need MySQL
up and running in order for LemonPOS to work.”
