Hello Tim,
We have an installation Howto for Ubuntu on the website of the SQL-Ledger Association, but it is for version 2.8:
http://www.sql-ledger-network.com/wiki/doku.php/step_by_step_installation/ubuntu
The list of packages should still be valid. If you use a lot of specialties in the templates, install "texlive-full".

To upgrade from an old version, follow Dieter's instructions
https://github.com/Tekki/sql-ledger/blob/master/doc/UPGRADE#L287

To copy the dataset, just download a backup from the old system, create a new dataset on the new one and restore the backup file on it:
  gunzip -c <backup_file> | psql -U sql-ledger <new_dataset>
Then log in as admin@<new_dataset>. The dataset should be updated automatically. If the update fails, always restore the backup first before you try again.

If you encounter problems, you may find the solution on Dieter's FAQ page:
http://www.sql-ledger.com/cgi-bin/nav.pl?page=misc/faq.html&title=FAQ
or get an answer here in the mailing list.

Regards
Rolf

Hi

For Various reasons I need to move my Sql-Ledger (Version 2.8.14) from
an 10 year old version of Fedora on a Virtual machine to the latest LTS
version of Ubuntu. I would like to do a clean install of the Latest
Sql-Ledger (most probably the enhanced).

 1. Where Can I find the instructions on how to install Sql-Ledger on
    Ubuntu and what other packages I need to install.
 2. Where Can I find instructions on how to copy my database Across,
    what Pitfalls to watch out for, what Upgrades I need to do before
    copying etc...

Many Thanks
