<detailsopen="open">\n
<p>Use the "My favourites" Menu to select "Configure your Site" and start to configure your ERP5 Site. You will be redirected to the Configurator Tool.</p>\n
This is the Initial Page of the configurator, at this stage you can select whatever Configuration that you prefer. For this tutorial we are going to select <b>SMALL AND MEDIUM BUSINESS</b>.\n
<p>You will then have to fill all the information about your Company. It is important for you to enter the correct information as it wont be possible after the configuration to change them by yourself. Once it is done, just click on "Configure Organisation".</p><p>Note: You are configuring the ERP5 instance for your company, so please use the information of your company, such as Name, Email, Address, Country, and Users\' information.</p>\n

<detailsopen="open">\n
<p>You will then have to choose how many user accounts you want to create during the configuration. You will be able to create as many users as you want even after the configuration. So you don\'t have to configure all the persons of your organisation that will use ERP5 now. Click on "Configure user accounts number".</p>\n
You will then have to fill in all the information for as many users as you selected before. <strong>ATTENTION: Do NOT use the username "zope".</strong>\n
Please notice that in an online environment the useres will receive their login and password by email so be careful to enter the right email address. When it is done you can click on "Configure user accounts".\n
<p>You will then have to choose the accounting plan you want to use (If the accounting plan that you want to use is not available, we can teach you how to make your accounting plan available in ERP5). Then you have to enter the accounting period beginning date, the ending date and the name of the accounting period. When it is done you can click on "Configure accounting".</p>\n
<p>You will then have to choose the "from" email address of your account. This email address will be used for automatically generated emails. You have to select the default accounting currency and the languages that you want to be available in your instance. English will always be available, other languages have to be installed during the configuration process. When it is done you can click on "Configure ERP5 Preferences".</p>\n
<p>This step is to say that we have all the information needed for the installation. It is still possible to go back and correct wrong information, but once you will have clicked on \'Install\' it won\'t be possible anymore. When you are sure of the information you filled, you can click on "Install".</p>\n
<p>You can follow the installation progress thanks to the "installation progress bar". Even if you quit the page, you won\'t be able to stop the installation process. Once it is done you will see a link at the end of the progress bar that will invite you to login to your ERP5 Instance. If you are running ERP5 in a virtual machine on a slow computer it could happen that you get a message "Error code 500". Don\'t worry, this only means that it takes a long time to configure ERP. In this case, just wait some more minutes and then return to your ERP5 instance (in the virtual machine you can do this by clicking the home button). Then you have to click "My Favourites" -> "Log out" to log out from the emergency user. Then you can log in again using your user you just created.</p>\n
