## Installation Guide
### Prerequisites for All Methods
- Git: [Download here](https://git-scm.com/downloads)
- Mifos® X Backend (Apache Fineract®) - **Required before running the web app**
### Backend Setup (REQUIRED FIRST)
Before installing the web app, you need to set up the Apache Fineract® backend server:
1. **Choose ONE of these backend options:**
- **Option A: Use existing remote server**
- Use the [demo (MariaDB)](https://demo.mifos.community) — sandbox data is reset every 6 hours; test data and transient state may be cleared.
- Use the [demo (Keycloak)](https://oauth.mifos.community)
- Use the [demo (2FA)](https://2fa.mifos.community)
- Use the [demo (Oidc)](https://oidc.mifos.community)
- Use the [demo (Postgres)](https://elephant.mifos.community)
- Configure to your server by updating API URLs in environment files
- **Option B: Install local Fineract server**
[Installation Guide](https://github.com/apache/fineract?tab=readme-ov-file#instructions-how-to-run-for-local-development)
- **Option C: Docker Compose for full stack**
- See Docker Compose section below for one-step backend+frontend setup
2. **Configure environment files to point to your backend:**
- Update `environments/environment.ts` (development)
- Update `environments/environment.prod.ts` (production)
- Change OAuth2 settings if needed (disabled by default)
### Frontend Setup (Web App)
Choose ONE of the following methods to install the web app:
#### Method 1: Manual Installation
1. Install Node.js: [Download here](https://nodejs.org/en/download/)
2. Install Angular CLI:
```
npm install -g @angular/cli@16.0.2
```
3. Clone the repository:
```
git clone https://github.com/openMF/web-app.git
```
For Windows:
```
git clone https://github.com/openMF/web-app.git --config core.autocrlf=input
```
4. Navigate to the project directory:
```
cd web-app
```
5. Install dependencies:
```
npm install
```
6. Start the development server:
```
ng serve
```
7. Access the application at `http://localhost:4200/`
#### Method 2: Docker Container Only
1. Build the Docker image:
```
docker build -t openmf/web-app:latest .
```
2. Run the container:
```
docker run -d -p 4200:80 openmf/web-app:latest
```
3. Access the application at `http://localhost:4200/`
#### Method 3: Docker Compose (Frontend + Backend)
This sets up both the Mifos® X Web App and Apache Fineract® backend:
1. Clone the repository:
```
git clone https://github.com/openMF/web-app.git
cd web-app
```
For Windows:
```
git clone https://github.com/openMF/web-app.git --config core.autocrlf=input
cd web-app
```
2. Start Docker Compose:
```
docker compose up -d
```
3. Access the application at `http://localhost:4200/`
## Default Login Credentials
When using the development server with basic authentication:
- **Username:** mifos
- **Password:** password
**Important:** Do not alter these credentials.
## Development Commands
- **Serve application:** `ng serve`
- **Generate new component:** `ng generate component component-name`
- **Build for production:** `ng build --configuration production` or `npm run build:prod`
- **Get Angular CLI help:** `ng help`
## Proxy Configuration
The web app includes a proxy configuration (`proxy.conf.js`) that allows you to forward API requests to a remote Fineract backend during local development. This helps avoid CORS issues and enables you to work against production-like environments.
### Using the Sandbox Proxy (Default)
By default, the proxy forwards `/fineract-provider` requests to the Mifos sandbox environment:
- **Target:** `https://demo.mifos.community`
- **API Endpoint:** `https://apis.mifos.community` (exposed in the demo environment)
- **System Reset:** Demo test data and transient state are reset every 6 hours (expect data to be periodically cleared).
**Sandbox Environment Variables:**
```bash
FINERACT_API_URLS=https://apis.mifos.community
FINERACT_API_URL=https://apis.mifos.community
FINERACT_API_PROVIDER=/fineract-provider/api
FINERACT_API_ACTUATOR=/fineract-provider
FINERACT_API_VERSION=/v1
FINERACT_PLATFORM_TENANT_IDENTIFIER=default
MIFOS_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE=en-US
MIFOS_SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES=cs-CS,de-DE,en-US,es-MX,fr-FR,it-IT,ko-KO,lt-LT,lv-LV,ne-NE,pt-PT,sw-SW
MIFOS_PRELOAD_CLIENTS=true
MIFOS_DEFAULT_CHAR_DELIMITER=,
```
### Using a Local Fineract Instance
To proxy to a local Fineract server instead:
Use the provided localhost proxy file (recommended for `ng serve`):
1. Start the dev server with the localhost proxy:
```bash
ng serve --proxy-config proxy.localhost.conf.js
```
2. Ensure your local Fineract instance is running on `http://localhost:8443`.
Notes:
- `proxy.localhost.conf.js` forwards `/fineract-provider` to your local backend to avoid CORS during development.
- The `HttpsProxyAgent` / `setupForProxy` logic (present in `proxy.conf.js`) is only necessary when an upstream corporate/HTTP proxy must be used (set via `HTTP_PROXY`/`http_proxy`). It is not required for a direct `localhost` backend.
### Proxy Features
- **CORS Avoidance:** Eliminates cross-origin issues during local development
- **Error Handling:** Gracefully handles proxy failures with detailed logging
- **Corporate Proxy Support:** Maintains support for corporate proxy agents via `HTTP_PROXY` environment variable
- **Debug Logging:** All proxy requests are logged for troubleshooting
The proxy is configured to work with Fineract endpoints as described in this section.
### Testing the Proxy
To verify the proxy is working correctly, start the development server (`ng serve`) and test with curl:
**Successful proxy request:**
```bash
curl -i "http://localhost:4200/fineract-provider/api/v1/runreports/FullClientReport?R_officeId=1&output-type=HTML&R_loanOfficerId=-1"
```
Expected: HTTP 200 response with proxied data from the demo environment. Server console shows:
```text
[Proxy] Proxying: GET /fineract-provider/api/v1/runreports/... -> https://demo.mifos.community/api/v1/runreports/...
```
**Simulated proxy error (backend unreachable):**
If the backend is unreachable or returns an error, the proxy returns HTTP 502:
```bash
# Stop your Fineract backend (if using localhost) or test with an invalid target
# The proxy will log the error and return:
```
Server console (example):
```text
[Proxy] Error while proxying request: GET /fineract-provider/... -> https://demo.mifos.community - ECONNREFUSED
```
HTTP response:
```http
HTTP/1.1 502 Bad Gateway
Content-Type: text/plain
Proxy error: connect ECONNREFUSED
```
## Configuration Options

| MIFOS_DEFAULT_FORMAT_DATE | Default date format for the application | dd MMMM yyyy |
| MIFOS_DEFAULT_FORMAT_DATETIME | Default datetime format for the application | dd MMMM yyyy HH:mm:ss |
These environment variables control the default date and datetime formats used throughout the Mifos® X Web App. They can be set in your Docker environment, in the `env.js`/`env.template.js` files, or in your deployment environment.
- `MIFOS_DEFAULT_FORMAT_DATE` sets the default format for displaying dates (e.g., `15 February 2026`).
- `MIFOS_DEFAULT_FORMAT_DATETIME` sets the default format for displaying date and time (e.g., `15 February 2026 14:30:00`).
If a user does not select a custom format in the UI, these values are used as the fallback. You can override them per user in the Settings screen.
**How to set:**
In Docker Compose or Docker:
```bash
MIFOS_DEFAULT_FORMAT_DATE=yyyy-MM-dd
MIFOS_DEFAULT_FORMAT_DATETIME=yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm
```
In `src/assets/env.template.js`:
```js
window['env']['defaultFormatDate'] = '$MIFOS_DEFAULT_FORMAT_DATE';
window['env']['defaultFormatDatetime'] = '$MIFOS_DEFAULT_FORMAT_DATETIME';
```
**Where used:**
These values are read by the application when it starts and are used as the default for date and datetime display in forms, tables, and reports.

When `ENABLE_EXTERNAL_NATIONAL_ID_SYSTEM` is set to `true`, the following fields are auto-filled and disabled during client creation/editing after a successful lookup:
- First Name
- Middle Name
- Last Name
- Date of Birth
- Gender
The user types the External ID value, and if it matches the configured regex, the system calls the external API to retrieve and auto-fill client information.
**Docker Compose with External National ID:**
```bash
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.external-nationalid.yml up -d
```
For more detailed configuration options, refer to the `env.sample` file in the root directory of the project.

| MIFOS_REMITTANCE_API_HEADER | API gateway auth header name | X-Gravitee-Api-Key |
| MIFOS_REMITTANCE_API_KEY | API key for the Remittance gateway | |
When `MIFOS_REMITTANCE_ENABLED` is set to `true`, a "Remittances" menu item appears in the sidenav and the `/remittances` route becomes accessible. The module supports the following workflow:
1. **Search Remittance** — Look up a transaction by vendor and external reference ID
2. **Remittance Details** — Review transaction details and status
3. **Search Beneficiary** — Validate the recipient's identity documents
4. **Beneficiary Details** — Review validated recipient info and assign to a Mifos client
5. **Transactional Profile** — Register the transactional profile and assign payout
6. **Confirm Payment** — Final confirmation before payout
7. **Payment Receipt** — View and print the payment receipt
### Client Data Masking Example
When `MIFOS_COMPLIANCE_HIDE_CLIENT_DATA=false` (default):
EMANUEL CASTILLO
MIGUEL TECO
When `MIFOS_COMPLIANCE_HIDE_CLIENT_DATA=true`:
E**\*** C**\*\*\***
M**\*** T\*\*\*
This applies to client name display, e.g. in Institution/Clients list.
## Interbank Transfer Menu
By default, the “Interbank Transfer” menu will be displayed in the hamburger menu of the Savings account.
### Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
**What is RBAC?**
Role-Based Access Control restricts system access and functionality based on user roles and permissions. When enabled, menus and buttons in the WebApp are shown/hidden based on the user's assigned permissions.
**When to enable RBAC:**
- **Production environments** where strict access control is required
- **Multi-tenant systems** with different user roles (Teller, Field Officer, Loan Reviewer, etc.)
- **Compliance requirements** that mandate role-based permissions
**Default Behavior (RBAC Disabled):**
By default, `MIFOS_PRODUCTION_MODE_ENABLE_RBAC=false` maintains **backward compatibility**:
- All menus and buttons are visible to all logged-in users
- Existing deployments continue to work without configuration changes
- Suitable for development, testing, or single-user scenarios
**When RBAC is Enabled:**
Set `MIFOS_PRODUCTION_MODE_ENABLE_RBAC=true` to activate permission-based UI control:
- Menus (Institution, Admin, Reports, Accounting) require specific READ permissions
- Buttons (Create, Edit, Delete, Approve, etc.) require corresponding permissions
- Users see only features they have permissions for
- **Important:** You must configure roles in Apache Fineract® before enabling RBAC
**How to enable RBAC:**
1. **Configure environment variable:**
```bash
MIFOS_PRODUCTION_MODE_ENABLE_RBAC=true
```
2. **Create roles in Fineract Admin Panel:**
- Navigate to: Admin → System → Manage Roles
- Create roles (e.g., Teller, Field Officer, Loan Reviewer, etc.)
- Assign appropriate permissions to each role
3. **Assign roles to users:**
- Navigate to: Admin → Users → Edit User
- Select appropriate role for each user
**Common role examples include:**
- **Teller**: Cash operations (deposits, withdrawals, repayments)
- **Field Officer**: Client onboarding, loan origination
- **Loan Reviewer**: Credit analysis, loan approval/rejection
- **Treasurer**: Disbursement, accounting, fund movements
- **KYC Officer**: Client identity verification
- **PLD Officer (AML)**: Anti-money laundering monitoring
- **Product Owner**: Product and system configuration
