Get MFAHHIQ ERP 1.4.1
One desktop application that holds your accounting, inventory, payroll and point of sale on your own machine. Choose your platform below, tell us which one you need, and your installer arrives with the activation code that unlocks it.
Three platforms, one database format
The same application is packaged for each operating system. The database file it writes is identical everywhere, so you can move a restaurant from a Windows till to a Mac back office by copying one folder.
Windows
The build most restaurants run. The NSIS installer registers the app properly; the portable build runs from a stick with nothing installed.
- NSIS installer — choose your install folder, desktop and start-menu shortcuts created
- Portable .exe — no installation, no registry entries
- Architecture: x64
Requires Windows 10 or Windows 11, 64-bit. No .NET, no SQL Server, no services to configure.
Request installermacOS
Native builds for both processor families. Intel Macs and Apple silicon each get their own binary rather than a translated one.
- .dmg — the usual drag-to-Applications disk image
- .zip — for deployment tools and manual placement
- Architectures: Intel x64 and Apple silicon arm64
Tell us which Mac you are on and we send the matching build. The database file is interchangeable between them.
Request installerLinux
For back-office boxes and kiosk tills. The AppImage needs no package manager; the .deb fits Debian and Ubuntu estates.
- AppImage — one file, mark it executable and run it
- .deb — for Debian and Ubuntu based systems
- Architecture: x64
Printing goes through CUPS, exactly as any other desktop application on the machine.
Request installerWhy there is no direct download link. Every MFAHHIQ ERP licence is node-locked: an activation code is signed for one machine and one expiry date, and it is useless anywhere else. So the installer is issued together with your activation code rather than sitting on a public URL. Nothing in that exchange touches the internet from the application's side.
You do not have to wait for us to try it. The 5-day browser demo runs this same application right now, with nothing locked and nothing watermarked. Use it to decide whether the product fits, and request the installer when you want to test it against your own printer and till drawer offline.
Install in four steps
From a fresh machine to a working till. Nothing here needs a network connection, an account, or a licence server.
- 1
Run the installer
On Windows, the NSIS installer lets you change the install directory rather than forcing a location, and creates both a desktop shortcut and a start-menu entry. On macOS, open the .dmg and drag the app across. On Linux, mark the AppImage executable or install the .deb.
- 2
Launch it and read the machine code
The first launch opens the activation screen. It shows a machine code derived from a stable identifier for that computer, in this shape: MZR-DE07-EB9C-0099-17AA-7118
- 3
Send us the code, paste back the activation code
We sign your machine code and its expiry with an Ed25519 key that never leaves us, and send the result back. Only the public key ships inside the application, so a code cannot be edited, extended or reused on a second machine.
- 4
Sign in and change the password
The seeded administrator is admin / admin123. Change it immediately in Settings ▸ My account, then add your staff under one of the three roles.
System requirements
Deliberately modest. There is no server component, no database engine to install and no runtime to add — the application carries everything it needs.
- Operating system
- Windows 10 or Windows 11 · macOS · Linux. The Windows build is the one most tills run; the macOS and Linux builds are the same application, packaged for each platform.
- Architecture
- x64 on Windows and Linux. macOS ships as both Intel x64 and Apple silicon arm64, so Apple silicon Macs run a native binary rather than a translated one.
- Disk
- The application, one JSON database file, and a mirrored copy of that database in Documents/MFAHHIQ ERP Restaurant/. The database grows with the documents you post, not with time.
- Memory
- Whatever a normal desktop application needs. There is no server component running inside or alongside it.
- Screen
- A desktop or laptop display for the back office. The POS terminal and the floor plan are laid out for touch as well as mouse.
- Printer
- Any printer your operating system already knows about — a Windows print queue or a CUPS queue on macOS and Linux.
- Internet
- Not required, ever. Not to install, not to activate, not to run. The application makes no network calls at all.
Bringing your data with you
A CSV/paste importer brings your opening balances or a batch of invoices into the ledger, so you are not re-typing what you already have worked out elsewhere.
Preview before it posts
Paste general-ledger lines or upload a CSV, and the importer parses it into vouchers before anything is written — balanced and unbalanced counts, accounts that do not yet exist, all shown before you confirm.
- Adds to your data, never replaces it — every import is additional postings on top of whatever is already in the ledger
- Unbalanced lines can route to a suspense account instead of blocking the whole batch
- Missing accounts can be created on the fly, optionally, rather than stopping the import
- A separate importer brings in a batch of invoices the same way
Adds to the ledger, doesn't replace it
The confirmation before posting states exactly how many lines and vouchers are about to be added, so nothing is a surprise.
Building it yourself
If you would rather compile the application than receive a packaged one, these are the real commands.
MFAHHIQ ERP is an Electron 33 desktop application, built plainly: the whole interface is one renderer file (around 34,500 lines), pre-compiled React 18 with no separate bundler. There is no backend API — the renderer talks to the main process over an in-process IPC bridge that reads and writes one JSON document, not a relational database.
- 47 screens in the sidebar (Restaurant setup)
- No server, no endpoints — an internal IPC bridge, not a network API
- One JSON document holds the whole company's data
- Password-checked account switching with three role labels (Admin, Accountant, Viewer) — no hashing, no session token, since there is no server to send one to
- contextIsolation: true, nodeIntegration: false, sandbox: true, and no filesystem surface in the renderer at all
Commands
npm install # installs Electron + electron-builder — nothing else npm start # launches the app npm test # 49 tests across three suites, 0 failing npm run smoke # Electron integration smoke test npm run dist # package installers
npm run dist produces the same artifacts we ship: the Windows NSIS installer and portable executable, the macOS .dmg and .zip, and the Linux AppImage and .deb.
Verify what you installed
An accounting system should be able to prove it still adds up. Run the suite yourself on the machine you installed it on.
49 automated tests
npm test runs three suites against real files on disk, nothing mocked: 13 persistence checks covering durable writes, the rolling backup and recovery from a corrupt primary; 28 regression checks guarding the Electron-specific adaptations and real accounting behaviour against worked examples; and 8 licensing checks covering the Ed25519 activation flow end to end.
- The maths is checked against worked examples, not just that the screens render.
- A separate Electron integration smoke test boots the packaged app and checks for a live render, a working IPC round-trip and zero console errors.

Verify what you received
Installers are only ever sent from info.mfahhiq@gmail.com. If a build reaches you any other way, do not run it — write to us and we will send the real one.
On Windows, PowerShell computes the checksum:
Get-FileHash ".\MFAHHIQ ERP-1.4.1-Setup.exe" -Algorithm SHA256
On macOS and Linux, shasum -a 256 against the file you received does the same job. Compare the result with the table below — every character must match.
| Artifact | SHA-256 | Size |
|---|---|---|
| Windows NSIS installer — MFAHHIQ ERP-1.4.1-Setup.exe | 3a2d2c003ffc13462571c46374ba5c7c36da2c308eaf47ff518ece69c66641e3 | 82.2 MB |
| Windows portable — MFAHHIQ ERP-1.4.1-Portable.exe | c6718b7d75aed20832fe351f21c1bac8fb7ae8c6fb00349cf3f9997acb7f0498 | 81.9 MB |
The macOS and Linux checksums accompany their delivery email.
