Our plugins are easy to install and do not change Redmine database data, but we recommend a full backup before installation. What is commonly done is just copy the unarchived plugin to your redmine/plugins/ folder. Some plugins, however, may require specific Ruby gems or/and database tables.
Below you will find common steps for any plugin installation (all commands should be executed from the Redmine app root folder ex. /var/www/redmine; that folder contains config.ru file)
Install CRM plugin
Note: Proper work of this plugin required installed CRM Plugin additionally. If you do not have the CRM plugin installed, please get it here. You can use a Free - Light version, which would be enough for a proper functioning of this plugin. To install CRM plugin please follow this guide: CRM plugin installation on Linux
Copy and unarchive plugin
cp redmine_contacts_invoices-x_x_x-pro.zip plugins/ cd plugins unzip redmine_contacts_invoices-x_x_x-pro.zip
Migrate plugin's tables
bundle exec rake redmine:plugins NAME=redmine_contacts_invoices RAILS_ENV=production
Setup PDF generator path
We are using wkhtmltopdf tool for generation PDFs from HTML templates. In common case you needn't to do any manipulations or additional settings. But sometimes redmine can't find wkhtmltopdf module in OS and it should be assigned in the config/configuration.yml file.
default: wkhtmltopdf_exe_path: [path to wkhtmltopdf tool] #EX: wkhtmltopdf_exe_path: '/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.4.1/bin/wkhtmltopdf'
