I chose not to install at this time.

Load a DOS Command Prompt

Type

cd\ofbiz

Press Enter

Type

init-gradle-wrapper

Press Enter

Prepare OFBiz

Type

gradlew cleanAll loadAll

Note: For a clean no demo data load 

Type:

gradlew "ofbiz --load-data readers=seed,seed-initial" loadAdminUserLogin -PuserLoginId=admin

seed=Data that is required in order for the software to run

seed-initial=Data that is only required for the first time.  I believe you don't want to run seed-initial on subsequent runs our you may have duplicates or overwrite existing data such as passwords in the system.

ext=Would be your data.  Add a coma after initial then ext close quotation.

Sit back and watch.  It's going to take a while.

Start OFBiz

Type

gradlew ofbiz

Press Enter

User Name=admin

Password ofbiz.

Start from Scratch ie: NO demo data

Type

gradlew cleanAll "ofbiz --load-data readers=seed,seed-initial" loadAdminUserLogin -PuserLoginId=admin

Press Enter

Note: It is advisable to change the admin ID to something else like bigdude or something.

Note:  On login use your new User ID and Password=ofbiz.  You will be required to change password at login.

Build completed
