'''Dolibarr ERP/CRM''' is a software built by modules addition (you enable only features you need), to manage '''small or medium companies, freelancers or foundations'''. We can say Dolibarr is an ERP or CRM (or both depending on activated modules).

It's an OpenSource project base on a WAMP, MAMP or LAMP server (Apache, Mysql, PHP for all Operating Systems). Dolibarr differs from other ERP or CRM softwares (like OpenAguila, OpenBravo, OpenERP, Neogia, Compiere, etc) because everything <span class="plainlinks">[http://thebeginnerslens.com/ <span style="color:black;font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none!important; background:none!important; text-decoration:none;">iphone photography</span>] was made to be more simple:
* Simple to install
* Simple to use
* Simple to develop

Note that Dolibarr is also available with '''auto-installers for users with no technical knowledges''' to '''install Dolibarr and all its prerequisites (Apache, Mysql, PHP)''' with just one package. Those packages are :
* [[DoliWamp]], an auto-exe installer for Windows users.
* [[DoliMamp]], an auto installer for Mac OS X users.
* [[Dolibarr for Ubuntu|DoliBuntu]], an auto installer for Linux Ubuntu/Debian users.
For other OS, you must manually install the "standard version" and all its prerequisites.
