Welcome to Fat Free CRM!

Fat Free CRM is next generation open source CRM platform. Active development has started in November 2008; new features, enhancements, and updates appear on daily basis.

Here are the steps to get Fat Free CRM up and running on your system.

System Requirements

  • Ruby v1.8.6 or later

  • Ruby on Rails v2.2 (hasn’t been ported to Rails 2.3 yet)

  • MySQL v4.1.1 or later (v5+ is recommended) or SQLite v3.4 or later

  • Browsers: FireFox and Safari (IE is not supported yet)

Resources

Setting Up The Database

Fat Free CRM supports MySQL and SQLite databases. The source code comes with two sample database configuration files: config/database.mysql.yml for MySQL and config/database.sqlite.yml for SQLite. Based on your choice of the database create the actual database configuration file, for example:

$ cp config/database.mysql.yml config/database.yml

Edit config/database.yml and specify database names and authentication details. Once you have database configuration file ready run rake to create the database:

$ rake db:create

Setting Up The Application

The next step is to load default Fat Free CRM settings, such as menu structure, default colors, etc. This is done by running the following rake task:

$ rake crm:setup

Loading Demo Data

You can test drive Fat Free CRM by loading sample records that are generated on the fly mimic the actual use:

$ rake crm:demo:load

Among other things the demo generator creates 8 sample user records with the following usernames: aaron, ben, cindy, dan, emily, frank, george, and heather. You can login with any of these names using the name as password.

You can reset the database and reload demo data at any time by using:

$ rake crm:demo:reload

Running The App

Now you should be able to launch the Rails server and point your web browser to localhost:3000

$ ./script/server

For Developers

Fat Free CRM can be customized by trapping callback hooks and extended by adding plugins. Please see github.com/michaeldv/crm_sample_plugin/tree/master and github.com/michaeldv/crm_web_to_lead/tree/master for sample source code demonstrating the concepts.
