OpenProject is a web-based project management system for location-independent team collaboration. This open-source application is released under the GNU General Public License Version 3 and is continuously developed by an active open-source community.

In addition to numerous smaller OpenProject installations, there are also some very large installations in global organizations with more than 2,500 projects.¹⁾

Installation guide is pulled from the Open Project website²⁾

All steps are prepended with sudo to ensure execution as the root user.

1. Import the packager.io repository signing key

Import the PGP key used to sign our packages. Since we're using the packager.io platform to distribute our packages, both package source and signing key are tied to their service.

wget -qO- https://dl.packager.io/srv/opf/openproject/key | sudo apt-key add -

2. Ensure that apt-transport-https is installed

Our repository requires apt to have https support. Install this transport method with sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https if you did not already.

3. Ensure that universe package source is added

You may run into issues trying to install the dialog package in Ubuntu 18.04. To resolve this, please ensure you have the universe APT source

sudo add-apt-repository universe
