Requirements

  • A computer running a Unix-like OS (Linux is the most common/tested)
  • A supported receipt printer (typically an ESC/POS compliant printer)
  • A cash drawer connected to the receipt printer (ESC/POS standard)
  • A programmable keyboard or the new keyboard remapping support (2003-07-01 or later) and a standard keyboard for the retail interfaces
    OR a touch screen (for the restaurant and touch retail interface)
  • Perl v5.006+ (5.8 aka 5.008 is needed for Unicode support as well as XML support)
  • PostgreSQL v7.2+, with Pg Perl module (I recommend installing the packages from postgresql.org as they are more likely to be up to date than those packages that ship with the distributions.)
  • Curses Perl Module (for registerCurses)
  • Perl/Tk Module (for the back office programs, registerTouch, and registerRetailTk)
