If you are using Fineract 1.X and running it in a Tomcat container, then do the following:

1. Get access to the built UI app folder. It will have a name community-app or web-app depending on whether you are using the legacy app or the newest one that is still in development.
2. Copy the folder into /pathToTomcat/webapps/
3. Rename the folder /pathToTomcat/webapps/ROOT to /pathToTomcat/webapps/OLDROOT
4. Rename the folder you copied in step 1 to ROOT and restart tomcat
5. You should now be able to access the UI at https(s)://IP ADDRESS//
6. If you are using a self-signed certificate in tomcat, then you will need to accept the security warnings about the same in the browser.
7. If you want to develop your own UI, the have a look at the api documentation https://demo.fineract.dev/fineract-provider/api-docs/apiLive.htm

Simply, You can fetch Community App from GitHub then install nodejs Version 10.18.0, Ruby Version 2.7.6 and follow these instructions: 1.git clone https://github.com/openMF/community-app 2.npm install -g bower 3.npm install -g grunt-cli 4.bower install 5.npm install 6.gem install bundler 7.bundle install 8.grunt serve

I try the above solution to run the Mifos community-app on Linux Ubuntu 22.04 machine.

Fineract 1.X is an open source headless banking solution. To use it you have 3 options:

1. Use the community open source project

There are opensource community solutions that work with Fineract 1.X for example https://github.com/openMF/web-app.

2. Develop your own UI

Fineract uses REST apis to communicate with the front end. So you create your own front end solution to work with the backend.

3. Use a premium front end.
