How do I start using PostBooks?

Go to the Movies

The best way for new users to get started with PostBooks is to watch our demo videos. These video tutorials introduce you to specific features and show a complete business process flow using the xTuple business management software.

Use the Wizard

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.
