Shortened to AVA is a premade ADempiere install, created by Timo Kontro, which runs under VMWare player.

VMWare player and server are software packages which allow running operating system inside another operating system. You can have (for example) Linux running in vmware on WindowsXP machine. And poor Linux has no idea that it is running on iron which is only simulated by vmware. And the thing virtual Linux thinks is harddrive is actually only file in windows.

Vmware run on Windows, Linux and Mac. And it can run many different operating systems (For example DOS and windows98 works well on vmware). There is many different vmware products, but free (as in beer) ones come in two flavors: vmplayer is suitable for playing readymade images (like AVA) and vmserver is bigger and bit slower but you can run many virtual machines and create new ones.

Both vmplayer and vmserver are really easy to install (even in Linux).

AVA can be a quick alternative to installing ADempiere from scratch

Things you can use AVA for

  • Giving people the opportunity to play with Adempiere with a very easy installation
  • Giving implementors a tool to make demos and recreate easily the whole installation
  • For testing environment purposes
  • And much more
