| # Apache Fineract CN data-jpa [](https://travis-ci.com/apache/fineract-cn-data-jpa) |
| |
| Data JPA provides easy access to tenant databases. |
| |
| ## Abstract |
| Apache Fineract CN is an application framework for digital financial services, a system to support nationwide and cross-national financial transactions and help to level and speed the creation of an inclusive, interconnected digital economy for every nation in the world. |
| |
| ## Prerequisites |
| ### Runtime |
| Install Java 8 as described at https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/install/install_overview.html. |
| |
| ### Installation |
| #### PostgreSQL |
| Install PostgreSQL as described at https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-use-postgresql-on-ubuntu-16-04 |
| |
| After installation you need to connect to the default postgres database: |
| |
| sudo -i -u postgres psql |
| |
| ## Multi-tenancy |
| Multi-tenancy is reached by providing separate data storage on a per tenant basis. |
| |
| For every tenant a new database instance is created internally. A tenant aware component provides transparent access to these resources. |
