Dear All, I am Ganesha working as Librarian in First Grade College.( Book Collection 10000). I am planning to install Koha Library Software in my College. Please suggest me System hardware Requirements with Bar code Printer & Koha version. Thanks & Regards Ganesha.

Great! Welcome to the community. Please suggest me System hardware Requirements with Bar code Printer &
Koha version.
The latest stable version is 18.05 but you may be better served by sticking to Koha 17.11 series for the moment on Debian 8.10 or Ubuntu 16.04. While any up-to-date dual core system with 4GB ram should do. How much ram you will need depends of how many simultaneous users hit your system. So to pay safe, better to go with 8GB You really don't need a dedicated barcode printer which uses barcode printing rolls. Any ordinary monochrome, A4 laser printer will do. You can use A4 label stickers and Koha will work fine with it. You will of course need Linux admin skills to setup, manage and maintain the server. The other option could be to go for a hosted Koha system from a Koha service provider. Hope this helps. Indranil Das Gupta
