In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps to install Apache OFBiz on Alpine Linux. OFBiz, or "Open For Business," is an open-source enterprise resource planning (ERP) system that provides a set of tools for managing various business processes such as accounting, inventory management, and order management.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
Make sure your system is up-to-date by running the following commands:
sudo apk update
sudo apk upgrade
OFBiz requires Java to run, so you need to install the OpenJDK package by running the following command:
sudo apk add openjdk8
Download OFBiz from the official website using the following command:
wget https://downloads.apache.org/ofbiz/apache-ofbiz-17.12.01.zip
In this example, we are downloading version 17.12.01. You can check the latest version number from the OFBiz website.
Extract the downloaded file to the /opt directory using the following command:
sudo unzip apache-ofbiz-17.12.01.zip -d /opt
Navigate to the OFBiz directory using the following command:
cd /opt/apache-ofbiz-17.12.01
Start OFBiz using the following command:
./gradlew ofbiz
The OFBiz server will start running, and you will see the following output:
