When you are ready to set up your own business using xTuple business management software, we offer the QuickStart Wizard. This extremely affordable package (only $30) includes a software add-on and a downloadable guide (PDF format) that provides a step-by-step process for entering your company information. This is the fastest way to start using the software.
Follow the Demo Guide
xTuple offers Demo Guides to introduce the features of the software. The Demo Guides, available online for free or as downloadable PDFs take users through a basic business process flow. The Demo Guides refer to the sample data contained in the Demo database that comes with the PostBooks installer.
Want to Try it on Your Own?
Experienced in set up of PostgreSQL databases? If you do not need the QuickStart Wizard, you can still use the QuickStart database template in the Databases folder (this folder was installed when you installed xTuple). Create a new PostgreSQL database, restore it using the postbooks_quickstart-[version-number].backup file, and set up your company on your own.
How do I log in to PostBooks?
Launch the xTuple client application
After you have downloaded the Postbooks installer and run it, you will have the application installed on your local computer. The client should open automatically at the end of the installation process, showing the login screen.
Log in to the local demo database
If you installed the PostgreSQL server and the demo database locally (on your computer) during the installation, then you should select "Log in to server I specify."
