How To Install EekBoek on Fedora 34

EekBoek is Bookkeeping software for small and medium-size businesses

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install EekBoek on Fedora 34.

What is EekBoek

EekBoek is a bookkeeping package for small and medium-size businesses. Unlike other accounting software, EekBoek has both a command-line interface (CLI) and a graphical user-interface (GUI, currently under development and not included in this package). Furthermore, it has a complete Perl API to create your own custom applications. EekBoek is designed for the Dutch/European market and currently available in Dutch only. An English translation is in the works (help appreciated). EekBoek can make use of several database systems for its storage. Support for the SQLite database is included. For GUI support, install EekBoek-gui. For production use, you are invited to install the EekBoek-db-postgresql database package.
