Dolibarr can also be installed from an auto-installer file that is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. This is aimed at enabling users with no technical knowledge to install Dolibarr and its prerequisites (such as Apache, MySQL and PHP). This version is called DoliWamp for Windows users, DoliDeb for Debian or Ubuntu users, DoliRpm for Fedora, Redhat, Mandriva or OpenSuse users.

History

Dolibarr was started by Rodolphe Quiédeville in April 2002. At this time, Jean-Louis Bergamo began writing the foundation management module. Version 1.0 was released in September 2003.

In July 2008, Laurent Destailleur - the main contributor and author of AWStats - took over from Rodolphe Quiédeville as the main developer. [6] A foundation and several user groups have been created in several countries. The first was set up in France, the country where Dolibarr is most well-known. [7] Dolibarr's popularity in France increased after it was freely distributed by a number of government agencies to people starting up new businesses. [8] The software is now also used in many other countries and translated into more than 50 languages. [9]
