Installation

The BBAP program must be located in your path, preferably in the same directory as BBGL, which should already be installed in the /usr/local/bin directory. The installation script (INSTALBBAP) will automatically accomplish this. To install the Accounts Payable program complete the following steps:

1. Login as root (or change to root).
2. Make sure you are located in the same directory in which you unpacked the BasicBooks Accounts Payable zip file.
3. Enter the command, ``INSTALBBAP'' and press the Enter key.

The Accounts Payable Program and associated documents are now installed in the proper locations. Next, you must use the BasicBooks General Ledger program to set up your company (if you have not already done so) and create the accounts that are required for use of the Accounts Payable program. (See Set Up in next section.)
