FrontAccounting

FrontAccounting

  1. FrontAccounting is a free, user-friendly, web-based Accounting and ERP system.
  2. FrontAccounting is Open Source. 
  3. FrontAccounting is in active development and is now shortly ready for release.
  4. FrontAccounting is a further elaboration of the very competent OpenAccounting by KylieTech. OpenAccounting was in its turn a fork of Web-ERP. 
  5. OpenAccounting has been superseded by a Java application, OpenAccountingJ.4, and is no longer in development.  
  6. FrontAccounting is written in object oriented (OO) PHP language.  
  7. FrontAccounting is running well on a Linux Server with an Apache Webserver, PHP and MySQL.
  8. If you want to run FrontAccounting locally or in an intranet environment with MS Windows we recommend you to download a packet from EasyPHP. This packet installs everything automatically. Just follow the instructions during install.. We recommend EasyPHP 1.8, which contains Apache 1.3.3 - PHP 4.3.10 - MySQL 4.1.9 - phpMyAdmin 2.6.1.
  9. You also need a PDF reader on your local machine, e.g. Adobe Acrobat Reader to view and print out the reports. You probably already got this program on your machine, otherwise download it from Adobe.
