Hello Spiri,

I wonder why you are choosing to use Koha. It is a very difficult system to install, even though it is a wonderful program and works well for a good-sized library.

How big is the collection you are proposing to automate?  Will it grow significantly? Do you need to have web facility in the program? Who are your clients?   I am a retired librarian, have been working voluntarily in several libraries over past ten years.  I have been using a program in some of these, which is relatively easy to install and set up, which suits a collection of up to 80000 titles.

I am in Melbourne, happy to chat with you about this if you wish. 0401257647.

Hi,

Not sure if I am using the right email so if I am not please guide me accordingly.

I am volunteering at a not for profit org in Melbourne and they would like to set up a library from scratch.  I knew Koha existed from TAFE library course and thought it would be an easy download and I would be able to show them how it works. 

However, I am struggling as I am on a windows 10 and I can?t find easy to use instructions on how to install.  I did download a virtual program and then used some instructions but I keep getting an error as I think they are based for an old windows operating system.

Is there someone that can point me to step by step at all?  I am tech savy but not Linux, virtual, Debian, etc tech savy.

Any help would be appreciated as I do want to help get their library up and running  with as little cost as possible.

Regards
Spiri.
