I could not check out the software:
Please read the install instructions present on the first page of the wiki to download gnukhata_alpha
Hello every one, This is Krishnakant from the GNUKhata team. Due I happen to be the project leader for GK. GNUkhata is ment to be a scalable software and can suit the needs of absolutely non-technical people who don't have lot of time and knowledge to get things working like the way yu would need with softwares like GNUCash. Secondly although we want this to be an international software, it is more suited to Indian needs right now because there is an urgent need to free people from the proprietory evils of the likes of tally an the rest.
As the Project chief, I welcome you all to try it out. Right now though, while almost all features and modules are production ready, there are no deb and rpm packages for the software. Thus you will have to follow the instructions on the web site as suggested by our coordinater anusha. Checkout with svn co http://gnukhata.gnulinux.in/svn/gnukhata_alpha and follow the instructions in the INSTALL file found in the root folder.
You will also need to install python-psycopg2, python-twisted and the rest of the requirements mentioned in that file.
For the interested people, the software is licensed Under GPL v3 by Comet Media Foundation which has been involved with the project since more than a year and has helped in its growth before NIXI provided the all important funding.
We will soon provide detailed documentation. We however need one very important help from all you gnu/linux supporters now. We wish to create deb and rpm packages and need some one to help us out so that people can install the software with one click.
This sounds interesting even... i've been looking for a package that needs a packager, for some packaging experience. I Can look at building and maintaining RPM Packages, primarily for fedora/redhat platforms. Let me try out the system from svn and see how it goes. Do contact me off-list to co-ordinate how we go about it even...
Regards R. K. Rajeev
Do keep posting about the feedbacks or ask on about any feature. We have the mailing list at gnu-khata@googlegroups.com right now.
happy hacking. Krishnakant.
