“If you are shopping around for ERP (Enterprise Resource
Planning) solutions, you know the search can be long and hard. And
you also know the solutions can be expensive and complex. But did
you know there were cross-platform solutions that could run on
Linux, Windows, and Mac? One of those solutions is the xTuple ERP
Postbooks Edition. This ERP solution is a full-on, feature-rich,
enterprise-ready, management tool that should be able to meet (and
exceed) all of your needs. But is such a tool difficult to install
and run? In this article you will learn a bit about what this
solution offers as well as how to install it on a Linux-based
machine and begin using. Of course, as with any serious ERP
solution, once you fire it up, you know there is a TON of work that
can be done. To that end, we won’t get into the actual usage
of the tool.

“Features

“The xTuple ERP Postbooks Edition offers the following
features:

“Obviously we’re dealing with a powerful tool. But is the
installation equally as powerful? Although there are numerous steps
to the installation Wizard, the installation itself is fairly
painless.”
