Lemon POS database creation script for ubuntu 9.10


"Lemon is an open source point of sale for linux and other unix systems. It is targeted for the small and medium sized business, and has been conceived for ease of use and customization.
It allows to change the look by editing a CSS file and making personalized images. This, to provide a modern good-looking interface to impact the user and the client that looks at it.
It is considered a general point of sale, not focused to a specific sector. It can be used at a general store, a fast-food restaurant or a book store."


For those looking for the lemon_mysql.sql database creation script of Lemon POS 0.9.1 installed in Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala. Unfortunately none is included in the default installation.

You can download the file here or create a text file named lemon_mysql.sql and cut and paste all the lines below then open a terminal/console and run the next command (inside the folder where you saved the file):
cat lemon_mysql.sql | mysql -u root -p



Of course provide the mysql’s root password when asked.

The script will create an EMPTY database with only one user (admin) with default password (linux). Use squeeze to create more users, to add products and offers, etc..

Hope this helps.
