# beancount-fava-starter

---

A starter pack to try fava / beancount plain text accounting.

See [awesome-beancount](https://github.com/siddhantgoel/awesome-beancount/) for introduction and other resources around [beancount / fava](https://github.com/beancount)

## Requirements

- MacOS / Linux / Unices: a recent installation with `bash` and `python3` is likely to be fine. Some distributions require `python3-venv` `python3-dev` or alike package.

- Windows (WSL2): Should work like a Linux Distribution

(If you have trouble running, issues/PRs are welcome)

## How to use

1. Download and extract this repository

2. Start fava process

    - in MacOS: you can just double click `fava` in Finder

    - in Linux / Windows WSL / other Unices: in terminal, cd into this repository and run `./fava`.

3. Open fava web UI as instructed

4. If it works, browser should show a few example accounts and transactions. You can look around, or mangle `main.beancount` and add your own contents.

(if it doesn't work, something may went wrong during downloading packages)
