How to Install SugarCRM on Gentoo

SugarCRM is customer relationship management software that is multi-platform, allowing it to run on several operating systems. Gentoo is a Linux operating system that gives the user full control on how packages are compiled for their system. Gentoo uses Portage, the package management system, along with ebuild, the specialized bash script format created by Gentoo, for building packages. Portage is more powerful in that it searches for, downloads and installs all dependencies for a package. Ebuild has no way of downloading dependencies, working only with what is in the package build. For installing SugarCRM, you will be using ebuild on your Gentoo system.
