Download Openbravo Appliance
Once VMware or VirtualBox is installed and ready to be used, the next step is to download the Openbravo Appliance. You can do get it from the Openbravo downloads page.
The file will look something like this, depending on the option you've chosen:
- VMware: Openbravo-3.0PR23Q3-x86.vmware.zip
- VirtualBox: Openbravo-3.0PR23Q3-x86.virtualbox.zip
You can now extract the files somewhere in your machine.
Launch VMware Appliance
- Run VM Player.
- Click on File -> Open Virtual Machine and select the vmx file you have uncompressed.
This will open the virtual machine and it will start the boot process.
The following message is displayed at the end of the boot process:

Openbravo ERP is now ready to use! Type http://<IP_ADDRESS>/openbravo in your browser and you're done. Use Openbravo as the username and openbravo as the password.
NOTE: The username is Openbravo, with an uppercase O. The password is openbravo, with a lowercase o. The system is case-sensitive, and you need to type both data elements correctly to access it. |
NOTE: Have you got "localhost" instead of an IP address? This tutorial assumes there's DHCP in your local network. If there's not see the Maintenance page to see how to configure an IP manually. |
Launch VirtualBox Appliance
- Run VirtualBox
- Click on New to open the wizard.
Set a name for the virtual machine, for example Openbravo 3. Select Linux as the Operating system and and Linux 2.6 as the Version.
Next, set at least 1536MB of memory to the virtual machine.
Afterwards select as the disk the .vdi file you have previously uncompressed.
And that's it! You can now finish the wizard. Before we can start the virtual machine there's a network related setting we have to tweak. Select the virtual machine and click on Settings. Then select Network at the left navigation panel and set the Attached to combo box to Bridged Adapter.
And that's all. You can close the Settings page and Start the virtual machine. The following message is displayed at the end of the boot process:
