Gnuaccounting

Installation/Deinstallation

Install

Unzip the archive and run gnuaccounting.sh (on unices) or gnuaccounting.bat (windows). If your java (1.6+) is not in your search path please set the java_home environment variable to the according directory. If you want you can run a "./configure&&make&&sudo make install" in linux or use the command line options to start a portable version of gnuaccounting.

Install using MySQL

Instead of the embedded HSQLDB which will be used by default, you can also use MySQL. Just create a mysql user and enter the credentials in Administration/Configuration. When Gnuaccounting is restarted the database will be created.

mysql --user=root -p
mysql> grant all privileges on gnuaccounting.* to 'gnuaccounting'@'localhost' identified by '<your password>';
mysql> flush privileges;

Uninstall

To uninstall gnuaccounting just delete the .gnuaccounting directory in the user home directory which will be created on it's first start to store settings and data.

rm -r <the directory in which e.g. gnuaccounting.sh is located>
rm -r ~/.gnuaccounting

If you used MySQL instead of the default HSQLDB please additionally perform the following steps:

mysql --user=root -p
mysql> drop database gnuaccounting;
mysql> delete from mysql.user where user='gnuaccounting' and host='localhost';
