'''Dolibarr ERP & CRM''' is a modular software (we only activate the functions that we want) of business management which adapts to the size of your company (SME, Large companies, Frelancers or associations).

It's an OpenSource project built by the addition of modules (you only enable the features you need), on a WAMP, MAMP or LAMP server (Apache, Mysql, PHP for all Operating Systems). Dolibarr was developed to try to offer an ERP and CRM suite with the main goal of simplicity:

*Simple to install
*Simple to use
*Simple to develop

Dolibarr is available to be installed as a Cloud or On Premise solution, with '''auto-installers for users with no technical knowledge''' 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.
*[[Dolibarr for Ubuntu or Debian|DoliDeb]], an auto installer for Linux Debian/Ubuntu users.
*[[Dolibarr for Redhat or Fedora (rpm package)|DoliRpm]], an auto installer for Linux RedHat/Fedora/OpenSuse/Mandriva/Mageia users.

All other OS and most Cloud solutions are also supported by the "generic" version.
