Install iDempiere, Open Source ERP, on a AWS Linux Server Even Faster

Hi Everyone,

***
Update (09/17/2013): Here is a newer post that makes installation easier and faster. It also helps you better understand how to install iDempiere for better performance and scalability.

In an previous post, I showed you how to install iDempiere if just a few minutes. The purpose of this post is to make the process even easier and faster by cutting the clutter. First, I itemize the process. Second, I show you a single command that will install and launch iDempiere. All you need is a fresh Ubuntu installation.

• Copy and paste the entire below statement to your ubuntu command prompt:
  • sudo apt-get –yes update; sudo apt-get –yes install postgresql postgresql-contrib phppgadmin openjdk-6-jdk unzip htop; mkdir /home/ubuntu/installer_`date +%Y%m%d`; wget http://jenkins.idempiere.com/job/iDempiereDaily/ws/buckminster.output/org.adempiere.server_1.0.0-eclipse.feature/idempiereServer.gtk.linux.x86_64.zip -P /home/ubuntu/installer_`date +%Y%m%d`; unzip /home/ubuntu/installer_`date +%Y%m%d`/idempiereServer.gtk.linux.x86_64.zip -d /home/ubuntu/installer_`date +%Y%m%d`; cd /home/ubuntu/installer_`date +%Y%m%d`/idempiere.gtk.linux.x86_64/idempiere-server/
• sudo -u postgres psql
  • \password postgres
  • \q
• sh console-setup.sh
  • Note: you can leave all the defaults except for the following:
  • Database Type = 2 (postgresql)
  • Database Server Host Name = localhost
  • Database System User Password = what ever you set the postgres password above
  • Mail Server Host Name = mail.dummy.com
• cd utils; sh RUN_ImportIdempiere.sh
• cd ..; sh idempiere-server.sh
• Note: you can use “nohup ./idempiere-server.sh &” if you want to disconnect and keep iDempiere running.
• Connect to your server using http://your.url:8080/webui
  • Note: I left the iDempiere port at 8080 because I installed phppgadmin, which uses port 80 by default.

Another even faster option (instead of all the above) is just to issue the following command in a freshly launched aws ubuntu instance. Note the last word in the command will be your iDempiere DB password. After you see the nohup command, it will take another 4 minutes for the server to come up. After that, you should be able to connect using http://your.url:8080/webui.
