Yesterday I installed Alfresco fairly easy on a Ubuntu Desktop, then I started to think, why not installing it in a dedicated Ubuntu Server x64 bit, since I intend to use it to manage my documents….
So, I went to download the Ubuntu Server 9.04 x64 and started the installation… The installation was fairly quick and easy; and because I was doing it in the VMware Workstation 6.5. With the “Easy Install” capability, it automatically install everything without the need to attend to it.
After the installation has completed, I did an update to all the packages that are already in my server, then I moved on to install Alfresco using the “Third Party Source”..
sudo apt-get install alfresco-community
and I was surprised when it didn’t work for me in the first place… I went search the forum, looking at the “Software Source”, and I discovered that I need to enable the third party vendors’ source. So, the following are the steps I did to install Alfresco Community
- Install Ubuntu Server 9.04 x64
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get upgrade
- cat /etc/apt/sources.list to check for enabled sources
- sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list to edit the sources
- remove the comment (“#”) for the partner section
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install alfresco-community
