successfully fulfills the human resource needs of small to medium scale
organizations. It runs on Linux and Microsoft Windows operating systems.
Originally started in 2005, the very first version of the application was
launched in 2006. It has been under consistent development and bug fixes and
has evolved into one of the best systems of this nature. It managesemployees
attendance, performance, recruitment and annual appraisals. It has achieved
many mile stones and won awards due to its ease of use and abundance of
features. It comes in both professional and open source editions. Lets see
how we can install this web application on Ubuntu operating system.

In order to install and run properly, OrangeHRM requires following three
components:

Launch your system terminal and run following command to install

LAMP-Stack. Lamp stack comes bundled with these three components.

During the installation process, it will launch a pop up to specify mysql root
