xTuple Admin Guide

You will need the Linux git client to clone the xTAU code from GitHub to your machine. If you do not already have git installed you can install it from the command line with this command:

sudo apt-get install git

Once the git client is installed you will use it to clone the code from the GitHub repository. First navigate to the xtuple-admin-utility directory on your Linux server where you want to put the code. Then, once the directory has been located in the terminal, the command to clone the repository is:

git clone https://github.com/xtuple/xtuple-admin-utility.git

This command allows you to directly access GitHub from the command terminal.

Once you've cloned the code, in order to navigate back to the xtuple-admin-utility directory, enter this command to move up to the home directory:

cd xtuple-admin-utility

The first time you run this you'll be prompted with several questions. Answer them however you wish until you are prompted with "Is the above information OK?" Type 1 for yes, or 2 for no. Answering yes will allow the process to continue, while answering no will bring you back to the beginning of the prompted questions.

Ultimately, your goal is to clone the xtuple-admin-utility repository from GitHub and put it in your xtuple-admin-utility subdirectory.
