Installation of prerequisites

After installing Ubuntu Server 10.04.2 LTS, there are two more packages to install: PostgreSQL and Java JDK.

sudo apt-get install postgresql-8.4 default-jdk

Set some important environmental variables

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default-java
export ADEMPIERE_HOME=/opt/Adempiere

Installation of ADempiere

Download ADempiere.

wget -b http://sourceforge.net/projects/adempiere/files/ADempiere%20Official%20Release/Adempiere%203.6.0-LTS%20Laura%20Edition/Adempiere_360LTS.tar.gz/download

Unzip the downloaded file, and put into the /opt directory

mv download Adempiere_360LTS.tar.gz
tar zxvf Adempiere_360LTS.tar.gz
sudo mv Adempiere /opt/.

Follow the steps described in Application Server Installation & Setup

N.B. If you are installing without a graphical display, use RUN_silentsetup.sh instead of RUN_setup.sh:

1. Copy the AdempiereEnvTemplate.properties into an AdempiereEnv.Template file
2. Edit AdempiereEnv.properties to suit your installation.
3. Run the RUN_silentsetup.sh, while keeping close watch of any error messages that show up.

cd $ADEMPIERE_HOME
sudo ./RUN_silentsetup.sh

Troubleshooting

After running RUN_silentsetup.sh for the first time, you will notice the following error:

===========> MTable.get: SELECT * FROM AD_Table WHERE UPPER(TableName)=?
org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: relation "ad_table" does not exist
  Position: 15; State=42P01; ErrorCode=0
        at org.postgresql.core.v3.QueryExecutorImpl.receiveErrorResponse(QueryExecutorImpl.java:2062)
        at org.postgresql.core.v3.QueryExecutorImpl.processResults(QueryExecutorImpl.java:1795)
        at org.postgresql.core.v3.QueryExecutorImpl.execute(QueryExecutorImpl.java:257)

        at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)
etc... 

This means that you need to Initialize the ADempiere Database.

cd $ADEMPIERE_HOME
cd utils
sudo ./RUN_ImportAdempiere.sh

Post installation steps

Launching the Application Server

screen
cd $ADEMPIERE_HOME/utils
