Stock Manager

A simple ERP system to administrate an electronic component stock.

Basics

The software consists of three parts:

• A sample database in your home directory in sub-directory stock_manager. The database is a csv file named stock_db.csv. This directory also contains example files like order and withdrawal lists.
• The configuration in a hidden directory .stock_manager/conf/stock_manager.conf where you can edit the path to the database. There is nothing to do if you just want to play around with stock_manager or if you are evaluating the program.
• The executable (binary) file stock_manager itself.

Installation of the Sample Database

Default Installation

In order just to install the sample database in your own home directory run this command:

sh install.sh database

WARNING: The database already existing will be overwritten without warning! The name of the directory containing the database is fixed to "stock_manager".

Installation in an Explicitely Given Home Directory

To install the sample database in the home of another user run:

sh install.sh database user_name

WARNING: The database already existing will be overwritten without warning! The name of the directory containing the database is fixed to "stock_manager".

Installation of the Configuration Files

Default Installation

In order just to install the default configuration in your own home directory run this command:

sh install.sh configuration

The name of the hidden directory containing the configuration is fixed to ".stock_manager". If a configuration already exists, then it will NOT be overwritten. If required, edit the configuration file .stock_manager/conf/stock_manager.conf.

Installation in an Explicitely Given Home Directory

To install the configuration files in a special location run this command:

sh install.sh configuration user_name

The name of the hidden directory containing the configuration is fixed to ".stock_manager". If a configuration already exists, then it will NOT be overwritten. If required edit the configuration file .stock_manager/conf/stock_manager.conf.

Installing the Executable (binary) File

Default Installation

To install the binary file in your own home ($HOME/bin) run this command:

sh install.sh binary

Installation in an Explicitely Given Directory

In order to make the stock_manager available for all users or to install the binary file in a special location run this command:

sh install.sh binary /usr/local/bin

This of course requires root privileges.

Uninstallation

Run the de-install script:

sh uninstall.sh

WARNING: The un-install-script is not complete yet and under construction !
