MoneyGo

MoneyGo is a personal finance web application written in JavaScript and Golang. It adheres to double-entry accounting principles and allows for importing directly from financial institutions using OFX (via ofxgo).

This project is in active development and is not yet ready to be relied upon as your primary accounting software.

Installation

First, install npm, python, curl, and go >= 1.7 in your distribution. Here is how in Arch Linux:

$ sudo pacman -S npm curl go python

Install browserify globally using npm:

$ sudo npm install -g browserify

You'll then want to build everything (the Golang and Javascript portions) using something like:

$ export GOPATH=`pwd`
$ go get -v github.com/aclindsa/moneygo
$ go generate -v github.com/aclindsa/moneygo
$ go install -v github.com/aclindsa/moneygo

This may take quite a while the first time you build the project since it is auto-generating a list of currencies and securities by querying multiple websites and services. To avoid this step, you can touch src/github.com/aclindsa/moneygo/cusip_list.csv before executing the go generate ... command above. Note that this will mean that no security templates are available to easily populate securities in your installation. If you would like to later generate these, simply remove the cusip_list.csv file and re-run the go generate ... command.

Running

Assuming you're in the same directory you ran the above installation commands from, running MoneyGo is then as easy as:

$ ./bin/moneygo \
  -port 8080 \
  -base src/github.com/aclindsa/moneygo/

You should then be able to explore MoneyGo by visiting http://localhost:8080 in your browser.
