Installation of Basic Components

Login to your pi pi ssh using Putty. First update all the packages.

sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get upgrade

Become root sudo su

Then install Apache, PHP, MySQL in and phpMyAdmin order to be able to run OSPOS.

sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server php-pear php5-mysql phpmyadmin apache2-utils php5-gd php5-intl -y

Add the user name and password for MySQL and phpMyAdmin.

Configuration

Configure Date and Time according to your location for the server to run correctly.

  1. sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata Select your time Zone Modify the PHP files for the Time zone.

  2. goto nano /etc/php5/cli/php.ini and find "Date" by scrolling down or by Ctrl+W and remove ; from the line and modify like this date.timezone = Asia/Kolkata.

  3. goto nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini and find "Date" by scrolling down or by Ctrl+W and remove ; from the line and modify like this date.timezone = Asia/Kolkata.

  4. Modify Apache 2 for the PHPMYADMIN. goto nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and Add the next code to the bottom of the line Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf.

  5. restart Apache and check if it's working correctly /etc/init.d/apache2 restart.

Installing And Configuring OSPOS (must be root)

  1. Download OSPOS git clone https://github.com/jekkos/opensourcepos .

  2. Rename PHP file cp -r opensourcepos/application/config/database.php.tmpl opensourcepos/application/config/database.php.
    3.Modify application/config/database.php to connect to your database.
    nano opensourcepos/application/config/database.php.
    go to the bottom of the file and modify this to your database

$db['default'] = array( 'dsn' => '', 'hostname' => 'localhost', 'username' => 'root', 'password' => '12345678', 'database' => 'opensourcepos',

  1. Copy This Files to apache.
    cp -r opensourcepos /var/www/html
  2. Change the permissions
    chmod -Rv 755 cache* /var/www/html/opensourcepos.
  3. Restart Apache
    /etc/init.d/apache2 restart.

Configuring OSPOS ( Network Install )

Please do not use a Web Browser with a lot of addons as it can create problems with OSPOS. Install Firefox if you are using Chrome with a lot of addons.

  1. Download the Source form https://github.com/jekkos/opensourcepos.
  2. Go to your PI's ip address e.g http://192.168.3.116/phpmyadmin.
  3. Create a database name as above saved in configuration file.
  4. As it's a local installation, to improve performance set in application/config/config.php $config['ospos_xss_clean'] = FALSE; - Please note that this will disable the Cross Site Scripting protection, but assuming it's a standalone installation you should not suffer this issue but please consider carefully this point before proceeding -
  5. Select that Database and Click import and select the database file from previously downloaded file.
  6. After successfully importing the database login to OSPOS.
  7. Restart apache /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
  8. Go to your PI's ip address e.g http://192.168.3.116/opensourcepos.
  9. Enjoy!!!.

Alternatives

Although Apache and MySQL are popular choices, on Raspberry PI alternatives could be considered like Nginx + PHP-FPM + MariaDB on Arch Linux. Here how to.

Some background article that explains how to install a LEMP stack, and another one here. If you succeed in this alternative installation please let us know the full instructions that we update this wiki page.

See this wiki page for an installation guide on Ubuntu 16.04.
