This example was tested with Ubuntu Hoary Hedgehog

Install and configure postgresql

• install the client and server packages
• Then create a database user register

su postgres
createuser register

• Add a user register as well

su register
cd /opt/LanePOS/backOffice/utilities/installer # NOTE, the user must have
./installer.pl                                 # permissions to write to the
                                               # LanePOS directory tree

Run the installation script

• Get package and extract into /opt
• Before running, you will need various perl modules, especially

Pg
POSIX
Time::Local
IO::File
IO::Handle
File::Temp
FindBin
File::Spec
XML::SAX
XML::Parser
XML::NamespaceSupport
Tk
Curses

• NOTE: I found that some perl packages wouldn't compile in cpan in a few Linux distributions, so if that happens, install the distribution packages and run through the script again.
