More generally there is some documentation here: https://trytond.readthedocs.org/en/2.6.0/ and I tend to do something different from that even, using "pip install" instead of installing from source directly as that is the way to get very current versions. Because the debian packages tend to install "their own way" and also are not the very latest release I like doing things this way instead of with debian packages. Further to that, if you run on a shared server would you even be allowed to install using typical Debian methods? > > 2) Is there a way to install without using a Linux console, similar to > how Moodle does its installs? > Installing the client or a "stand-alone" (client and server in one box) system is an easy task and does not involve the command line if you use debian packages or in Windows the .exe installer, however I am not aware of any way to avoid the command line install in a full production server.

In fact I like doing it this way even if I have root access and could do a "regular" install. In terms of the database I cannot say what the best course of action is. I have never tried to use MySQL with Tryton and am not really sure it is even supported officially. Perhaps SQLite is possible in a non-root instance, as that is supported to a degree? Finally, I might say that the best solution is to give up on using a shared-server, basic hosting account of any kind and look for a VPS or cloud virtual solution. Trytond can run much better when you can have more complete control over a server, and the server doesn't have to be physically real--it can run in an Amazon EC2 instance that is quite modest and inexpensive. For the trouble of dealine with using a non-root shared account on a basic hosting service not built for this sort of task the cost difference is not much and a virtual server based solution would be far superior (you could use a proper database like PGSQL and have full access to do things the right way in general) > > Thanks very much, and I apologize for these ultra-newbie questions. > > > -- > -- > tryton@googlegroups.com mailing list > > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "tryton" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send > an email to tryton+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > -- -- tryton@googlegroups.com mailing list --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tryton" group.
