After extracting the downloaded ZIP file, here is what you will find inside the ORO POS folder and what each file does.
Key Files

oropos.exe
Windows Launcher Windows only
Double-click to start ORO POS on Windows. It simply loads oropos.jar in the background.
Mac and Linux users can safely delete this file. Use java -jar oropos.jar from a terminal instead.
oropos.sh
Shell Script Mac & Linux
Alternative launcher for Mac and Linux. Give it execute permission and run ./oropos.sh from a terminal.
jre/
Java Runtime Environment
Bundled Java runtime. When this folder is present, ORO POS uses it automatically β no separate Java installation required.
plugins/
Optional Add-on Modules
Contains optional modules β Floor Plan, Inventory, and Customer. Delete any plugin folder you don’t need before launching, or choose Default mode at startup to skip all plugins.
database/

Windows users β Check for JRE: Make sure your folder contains a jre folder. If it is missing, download ORO POS bundled with Java JRE or install Oracle Java 8 separately.
