On my second attempt, I used Ubuntu 20.04 which worked successfully. I wanted slightly more power for installation, though I will now need to figure out how to resize this to a smaller (cheaper) option once my 30 days of free credits run out. I opted for a Standard B2as v2 which has 8GB RAM, 2 vCores, and 128GB disk space, but you can chose any option as long as it meets the requirements mentioned above. Therefore, I ended up opting for the latter, creating a free trial account on Azure and using some of my free $200 of credits spinning up a Virtual Machine. I tried the former initially, and my poor laptop crashed every time I tried to even launch the VM. Create a VM locally using VMware, VirtualBox or similar.You will want this running on its own VM so it does not get into a fight with any other systems. About 2 GB free disk space for client installation.About 100 GB free disk space for server installation.Recommended: At least 8 GB RAM plus about 8 GB swap space.Required: At least 4 GB RAM plus about 8 GB swap space.The first thing you will note (and possibly balk at) are the hardware requirements to run your developer system: You do not need to unrar these anywhere for now. You need to download all of the rar files, currently consisting of 11 SAP ABAP AS parts and 1 License file.

Personally, I used Azure rather than Google Cloud Platform so the actual steps are a bit different, however a lot of the concepts (such as firewall rules required) are similar and depending on your choice of hosting platform you may find it a useful read. **Note, I am including this source as it is a useful reference for installing NetWeaver on the cloud.

It took me a very long day and a half of concerted effort to become the proud parent of an ABAP system, and I am writing this blog today to consolidate everything I learned into one guide so that your own installation journey could be easier than mine. ![]() However, the installation process can be notoriously challenging and littered with pitfalls, particularly if you are someone like me who went into the endeavour with very limited experience of VMs, Linux, or administrating SAP systems. ![]() SAP offers a fantastically powerful free ABAP application server for anyone interested in learning about Netweaver systems.
