Hi Ashok,

I feel you should check the SAP installation guide before you start any installation.

Also check related notes mentioned in the installation guide.

Dear Raghu,

Hi Ashok,

PATH and JAVA_HOME environment variables should suffice to start the installation.

For other parameters check SAP Note 171356 -SAP software on Linux: Essential information

Yes, you need to configure a network in order to run the system.

Again - read the installation guide, read the installation guide, read the installation guide and just follow them step-by-step.

The note mentioned contains all supported and working Linux distributions.
