Basic Installation

1. Download payrollbash.tar.gz.
   
   
2. As "su" create user "payroll"
      /># adduser payroll
      /># passwd payroll
   
   
3. Place payrollbash.tar.gz in "/home/payroll"
   
   
4. Give ownership of file to "payroll"
      /># chown payroll /home/payroll/payrollbash.tar.gz
   
   
   
5. Login as "payroll"
   
   
6. Unzip the file
      /home/payroll>$ tar zxvf payrollbash.tar.gz
   
   
7. You can put the files in another location (eg ./foo ) if you wish . Once you have unzipped the file from dir "foo" you will need to edit foo/bin/prbash. Amend the assignment line "dir=/home/payroll/payrollbash-1.xx" to "dir=/'full path'/foo/payrollbash-1.xx" where xx is the version number. This instruction manual will refer to /home/payroll as the default directory so substitute your directory accordingly.
   [I do however feel it would be a good idea to create a unique user "payroll" so that confidential information can be stored out of harms way and so that another person can be given the password if and as required.]
   
   
8. You will now have 4 sub directories : "bin" "database" "manual" "tmp" within directory "payrollbash-1.xx".
   
   
9. Place the "bin" directory in your PATH
     eg:/home/payroll> $ PATH=$PATH:/home/payroll/payrollbash-1.xx/bin
   and edit your .bash_profile so that the above is automatic upon login.
   
   
10. Ensure that the file./bin/prbash is executable.
    
    
11. type
      /home/payroll>$ prbash
    and you should be seeing the opening menu:
