YESĭevice for boot loader installation: /dev/sda in my case Software selection: you only need ‘standard system utilities’ for AS ABAP. I want to participate in package usage survey. So, I chose Germany and ftp.de.Ĭhoose proxy: I have none, so I left it blank.

You can choose a mirror near your location. I then chose ‘All files in one partition’ and after checking that swap space was as recommended 8 GB or more, I chose ‘Finish partitioning and write changes to disk’. I do not need this account for AS ABAP server, so I chose any name.įor partitioning I chose ‘Guided – use entire disk’ and the disk I wanted to partition, which in my case was the only disk there. Hostname: vhcalnplci (I think it is possible to use another hostname here, but with this one you will have less problems.)Įntered root (the admin in Linux system) password two times. Locales: United States – en_US.UTF-8 (SAP says you should use exactly this locale) Since this would be an installation only for NetWeaver I deactivated some things like printer and camera.įor the other settings, beside memory and disk space, I did not change the default values.įor installation I choose a minimalistic setup, so I already started with ‘Install’ instead of ‘graphical install’. I chose read and write access, because you later need to change an authorization flag for executing at the installation script. In the settings I already chose the NetWeaver folder as shared folder.

I chose 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB disk space. I edited settings according to the system requirements of NetWeaver. If you have a good internet connection where you will install it, the net installation image will be the best choice.Ĭreate virtual machine in Parallels DesktopĪdded new machine from downloaded Debian iso.

Here you can get some hints by looking at how I did it.īut this might be totally wrong from some point of view and for some scenarios. I will only give a step-by-step log of my installation, not an instruction for anyone. Hardware requirements and other information about the installation in general can be found in this blog post And since I was asked if I blogged about it, I will do here. Yesterday AS ABAP 7.52 SP 01 Developer Edition was released, so I installed it this afternoon.
