In this blog we will perform all steps needed to install SAP HANA 2.0, express edition and Applications on a RedHat Enterprise Linux 8.10 VM. We do everything from downloading the software until we are able to login to the system and use it.
The following steps show how to install a test system of SAP NetWeaver 7.52 SP04 on RedHat Enterprise Linux 8 (running as a VirtualBox guest). SAP Sybase ASE 16.0.2 is used as the database. SAP GUI will be installed on a client machine running Windows 10 and will be used to access the SAP NetWeaver Application Server. The system will give you an overview of the current SAP ABAP Application server and enable you to develop web applications or explore the SAP client/server architecture in general.
