OFBiz Install Using SVN

Note: 20220317 - I believe that this is being deprecated and that Git is the new repository.

I spun up a basic AWS t2.micro instance that was created in the prior section and decided to install via subversion.

Install subversion on AWS

Type:

sudo yum install mod_dav_svn subversion

Press Enter

Press Y

Source Repositories can be gotten at:

Type:

 svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/ofbiz-framework/branches/release18.12 ofbiz.18.12 

Press Enter


Type:

ls

Press Enter

This shows the directory created.

Type:

cd ofbiz.18.12

Press Enter


Type:

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

Press Enter

Notice Gradle 5.0 install running as a daemon.

This installs OFBiz with minimal seed data and a super admin user with password ofbiz.  Change "admin" to something like "adminbigsteve" or something.  You will be forced to change password at first login.

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=Your data.

Type:

./gradlew "ofbizBackground --start" 

Press Enter

This starts OFBiz in the background.

Open Web Browser

Type:
