To install Precurio CRM on Ubuntu 18.04

Precurio is an open platform for collaborative business solutions that delivers exceptional value in terms of cost savings and benefits to our customers. The idea was conceived in 2007 as a response to the difficulty involved in setting up off-the-shelf intranet software. We also know how difficult it is to customize these products to the needs of your organization. Precurio is the ultimate middle ground for IT managers torn between developing an in-house intranet portal, and purchasing an off-the-shelf intranet solution.
