Hi All,

I need to install Mifosx from the source code (Github) to my Ubuntu server. Please help me do this. Is there any documentation or user guide?


Thanks

Hey Lasantha,

There is a documentation, check Readme file in the repositories by Apache Fineract & Mifos Foundation which maintain this project, we have drafted a derivative documentation here for mid to large scale FIs here: 

Also for an end to end guide, hopefully this may help as these are latest articles(regularly updated) covering few issues:

Hi Lasantha,

There are two ways you can run the application

1. Running from the source code using Fineract JAR

if you want to run the application from the source code, Please follow the readme files of both Fineract and Community-app repositories



2. Build Production artifacts from source code and run on tomcat servers

The below document should help you to achieve this

Dear Bharath,

I have tried several times to complete step-4 on Ubuntu 18.04. Unfortunately I'm unable to succeed. (User guide :https://mifosforge.jira.com/wiki/spaces/docs/pages/2824142857/Mifos+21.07.01+Installation+on+Tomcat-Ubuntu+18.04)

Step-4 (Step 4 - Activate Mifos using the latest build of the community-app (this is the user-interface))
I have installed

Once I run the "sudo apt-get install npm nodejs-legacy" I get an error "Package nodejs-legacy is not available". So I have tried below point 1.

01. Node.js - v14.17.2  , npm - 6.14.13
    sudo apt-get install curl
    curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash - 
    sudo apt-get install nodejs 

02. 
    sudo apt update
    sudo apt-get install -y ruby-dev
git clone https://github.com/openMF/community-app.git
npm config set prefix ~
npm install -g bower
 npm install -g grunt-cli
/home/ubuntu/lib/node_modules/bower/bin/bower install
 npm install
 gem install bundler
 bundle install    
                 An error occurred while installing ffi (1.15.3), and Bundler cannot continue.
                 Make sure that `gem install ffi -v '1.15.3' --source 'https://rubygems.org/'` succeeds before bundling.
         I have found a solution for this (sudo apt-get install make gcc). I don't know whether it is correct or not. But after that bundle install running without any error
 bundle install



I'm a beginner for linux and I need to try the Mifos X. Above mentioned commands have been tried out. I have no to how to build the application. The README.md file of community-app is not very clear for me. 

 I'm confusing at 
(i)  sudo cp -r apps/community-app/ /usr/share/tomcat9/webapps/       -  I can't find the red colored path. But there is "community-app/app" available.
(ii) sudo cp -r api-docs/ /usr/share/tomcat9/webapps         -  I can't find the red colored path in the community-app directory.


I'm looking for your advice to complete this and try the Mifos X.

Thanks and best regards,
Lasantha.
