Please note this procedure is intended for technical people wanting to configure iDempiere to run in Eclipse, there is an easier mechanism on the installers to create the database.

Let's check the steps to create an idempiere postgres database:

Set a password for the postgres user

sudo su - postgres
psql -U postgres -c "ALTER USER postgres PASSWORD 'TheSystemPassword'"
exit

WARNING: Of course this is an insecure password, it is recommended that you set up a proper password for this user account. You need this password for the instructions below

Run console-setup-alt.sh to initialize the parameters

cd $HOME/sources/idempiere/org.idempiere.p2/target/products/org.adempiere.server.product/linux/gtk/x86_64
bash console-setup-alt.sh
# answer all questions from this program, you can choose here database name, etc, take care of the two passwords:
  Database Password [adempiere]:
    answer this question with your desired password for the adempiere user
  Database System User Password []:
    TheSystemPassword  <- answer this question with the password you set on the previous step
# at the end the program must have generated two files, move them:
mv idempiere.properties .idpass $HOME/sources/idempiere

Import the database

cd $HOME/sources/idempiere
bash RUN_ImportIdempiereDev.sh

The last command must import the database and apply all the migration scripts.

 Please note this procedure is intended for technical people wanting to configure iDempiere to run in Eclipse, there is an easier mechanism on the installers to create the database.
 Let's check the steps to create an idempiere postgres database:
-== Create adempiere user ==
+== Set a password for the postgres user ==
   sudo su - postgres
-  psql -U postgres -c "CREATE ROLE adempiere SUPERUSER LOGIN PASSWORD 'adempiere'"
+  psql -U postgres -c "ALTER USER postgres PASSWORD 'TheSystemPassword'"
- logout
+  exit
-'''WARNING:''' Of course this is an insecure password, it is recommended that you set up a proper password for this user account
-== Create the idempiere database ==
- createdb  --template=template0 -E UNICODE -O adempiere -U adempiere idempiere
- psql -d idempiere -U adempiere -c "ALTER ROLE adempiere SET search_path TO adempiere, pg_catalog"
-When asked the password please provide the adempiere password that you set up in the previous step.
-'''NOTE:''' It is possible that you will confront problems related to pg_hba.conf configuration, it's beyond of the scope of this tutorial to solve those problems at this moment, please check and configure proper permissions.  Also, this tutorial is intended to work on a postgres installed locally, if your postgres is elsewhere you must use corresponding -h (host) and -p (port) parameters for createdb and psql.
-== Import the seed ==
- cd /tmp
- jar xvf $IDEMPIERE_REPOSITORY/org.adempiere.server-feature/data/seed/Adempiere_pg.jar
- psql -d idempiere -U adempiere -f Adempiere_pg.dmp
-You must replace $IDEMPIERE_REPOSITORY with the folder of your cloned repository.
-== Applying additional migration scripts ==
+'''WARNING:''' Of course this is an insecure password, it is recommended that you set up a proper password for this user account.  You need this password for the instructions below
-You can check the latest applied migration script on that seed with this command:
+== Run console-setup-alt.sh to initialize the parameters ==
-  cat $IDEMPIERE_REPOSITORY/org.adempiere.server-feature/data/seed/LAST_SCRIPT_APPLIED_ON_THIS_SEED
+  cd $HOME/sources/idempiere/org.idempiere.p2/target/products/org.adempiere.server.product/linux/gtk/x86_64
+ bash console-setup-alt.sh
+ # answer all questions from this program, you can choose here database name, etc, take care of the two passwords:
+   Database Password [adempiere]:
+     answer this question with your desired password for the adempiere user
+   Database System User Password []:
+     TheSystemPassword  <- answer this question with the password you set on the previous step
+ # at the end the program must have generated two files, move them:
+ mv idempiere.properties .idpass $HOME/sources/idempiere
-Again, replace $IDEMPIERE_REPOSITORY with the folder of your cloned repository.
+== Import the database ==
+ cd $HOME/sources/idempiere
+ bash RUN_ImportIdempiereDev.sh
-Now, you must check if there are new migration scripts after the last applied, you can check the migration scripts this way:
+The last command must import the database and apply all the migration scripts.
- ls $IDEMPIERE_REPOSITORY/migration/360lts-release/postgresql
-If you find there are unapplied migration scripts then you can apply them with:
- psql -d idempiere -U adempiere -f $IDEMPIERE_REPOSITORY/migration/360lts-release/postgresql/810_ProbableFutureMigrationScript.sql
+'''NOTE:''' See [[Talk:Importing_DB_Seed_Manually|Discussion]] tab for additional notes.
-Please check carefully the output of the migration scripts, if you find errors please ask for help on the [http://groups.google.com/group/idempiere support forums]
-You must repeat the previous for each unapplied migration scripts, it's recommended also to take note of the last applied for future reference.
