Summary

In this chapter, we have learned what is the minimum hardware specification for both the server and client computer, how to obtain the JDK, JRE, PostgreSQL databases, and the ADempiere application, and how to install JDK for the server and JRE for the client computer, set up the Java system variables and Windows path, and verify the settings with those of the computer. We also learned how to install the PostgreSQL database server, add and verify the PostgreSQL path, and configure the PostgreSQL client authentication properly, and how to configure the Windows Firewall to accept a database connection from the client computer.

We saw how to verify the ADempiere binary files, and how to set up the ADempiere server application and apply its patches. We were able to create a prerequisite login/role and an ADempiere database and to import a predefined database structure. We learned about the ADempiere application server memory usage allocation, starting and stopping an ADempiere application server, installing an ADempiere client application and verifying an established connection to the server.

In the next chapter, you will be introduced to performing certain tasks with ADempiere and you will be playing with a predefined GardenWorld sample company.
