The below links provide download options for Linux distributions. The generic zip download is the most versatile installation with regards to the various linux distros and is relatively easy to install. The installation typically takes a matter of minutes to complete. This zip package will install the sqlite version by default. However, there is an install script for the mysql version included within as detailed in the below instructions.

    Generic Linux Installation (SQLite & MySQL version)

    Note: This version has java openJDK 26 embedded within.
    To install the generic version (SQLITE by default...MySQL by choice) :
    1. Download the generic install .zip package from the downloads section in blueseer.com
    2. Create a 'blueseer' directory (location is arbitrary) example: /usr/share/blueseer
    3. Open a terminal window and cd to the directory containing the .zip download file
    4. type the following command: >unzip blueseer.generic.linux.v8.0.zip -d /usr/share/blueseer
    5. Installation complete! ...you can now cd to the blueseer directory and type ./login.sh in the terminal window to run the application.
    Login and Passwd are 'admin' and 'admin' respectively. Dont forget to change your admin password if using for production
    Note: your blueseer directory structure should look like below image after the unzip command

    MySQL variation

    6. Instead of an sqlite backend database, you can use a MySQL backend by doing the following:
    Note: you will need mysql previously installed on your distro
    7. within the blueseer directory...type ./mysql_install.sh (you may have to adjust perms to 755 ...and you may have to run as 'sudo' if installing in location other than home directory)
    8. You will need to provide three pieces of input...the IP of the mysql server (or just 'localhost' if app and mysql reside on same host) and the mysql admin password...and the two character language option.
    9. Once the script has completed, it will overlay the bsconfig file in the blueseer directory with the mysql version. You can now run ./login.sh to open the application with MySQL DB version. You will be required to choose a country of origin on your first execution (to set the default currency).

    NOTE: To switch between sqlite and mysql, copy the appropriate file (bsconfig.sqlite or bsconfig.mysql) to 'bsconfig'....(overwriting the current bsconfig file in the blueseer directory)
    NOTE: The login and password are 'admin' and 'admin' respectively. Enjoy :)
