How to get started

Getting Started with PostBooks explains how to download the software and, particularly, the difference between the all-in-one PostBooks installer and the different components available for advanced users who want to set things up their own way.

You may also want to review the full online Reference Guide (also available for sale as a PDF) or a detailed comparison of the PostBooks, Standard, and Manufacturing Editions of xTuple.
