A Point of Sale system from the terminal

CLI-Driven Point of Sale (POS) System

This is a Point of Sale System (POS). It allows a user to accept Customer, Product and make purchases. The aim is to allow the user to keep track of the sales within their system. Imagine you have a store like the Loyverse and you own a small store or Kiosk which acts as a shop or distribution system. In order to track the records and the number of customers making purchases. You would need a Point of Sale system right at your pocket. It would allow you to update inventory records and furthermore make purchases from a customer.

Project Description

The POS system has the following functions that can be performed.

CUSTOMERS

1. Adding a customer.
2. Deleting a customer.
3. Viewing the customer records.
4. Editing/ modifying the customer details.

PRODUCTS

5. Adding/ inserting a product into the records.
6. Viewing all product items in the record.
7. Deleting a product from the record.
8. Updating / modifying a product in the records.

PURCHASE

9. Make a purchase.

The POS system has been written using python 3.10.1 and is supporting by versions of python 3.6+. The storing of the data uses the python's csv module.

What the program does is that when we run python main.py, it will first introduce you to the POS system using the menu above for those particular functionalities.

Installation

If you are using either Mac OS or Linux you could follow these steps. On your terminal, on Mac you would press Control + Option + Shift + T and in linux Control + Alt + T. Then copy and paste the command.

git clone https://github.com/Rioba-Ian/Customer_Design_System.git

After that you would move into the directory itself.

cd Customer_Design_System

You would confirm your installation using the ls keyword to list the file directories inside. You would need to have a main.py file in your folder.

If your installation happened correctly. You would just run the main.py file as follows.

python3 main.py

For windows installation would happen abit differently. You would follow the following steps.

Your windows terminal, is called using the CMD. You would press Control + R, it will bring a small dialog box called Run. Write in the dialog menu, cmd. After that a black window menu shall be brought. Inside it, write the following commands.

git clone https://github.com/Rioba-Ian/Customer_Design_System.git

After that you would move into the directory itself.

cd Customer_Design_System

Also confirm that your installation is correct by using the ls keyword to list the file directories inside. You would need to have a main.py file in your folder.

If this happened correctly, you would need to run the following command:

python main.py

If it doesn't run, then python has not been installed correctly. This would mean that either python is not installed or is not in correct path of you #$PATH. I would recommend that you follow this Link.
