Step 1 - Installing System Updates and Prerequisites:
# sudo -i
# apt-get update
# apt-get upgrade
# sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
# sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
# sudo apt-get update
# sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
Info | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
On prompting for accepting oracle java agreement, accept the agreement by pressing y(yes) key. On completion of java installation,one could verify the installed version by & should be 1.8v:- # java -version |
Install mysql-server :
# apt-get install mysql-server
Info | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
set mysql root password to: mysql (Bad for security, but just to get all installed and instructions on how to change it will be provided later in this guide)
On completion of java installation,one could verify the installed version by & should be 5.5v:- # mysql --version |
Install tomact :
# sudo useradd -s /bin/false -g tomcat -d /opt/tomcat tomcat
# wget http://a.mbbsindia.com/tomcat/tomcat-7/v7.0.68/bin/apache-tomcat-7.0.68.tar.gz
# sudo mkdir /opt/tomcat
# sudo tar xvf apache-tomcat-7.0.68.tar.gz -C /opt/tomcat --strip-components=1
# cd /opt/tomcat
# sudo chgrp -R tomcat conf
# sudo chmod g+rwx conf
# sudo chmod g+r conf/*
# sudo chown -R tomcat work/ temp/ logs/
# sudo update-alternatives --config java
Install nano text editor
# apt-get install nano
OPTIONAL (date/time settings)
Check date:
# date
and if needed update with
# dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
Step 2 - Enabling SSL
To enable tomcat SSL (https), generate and store a key:
All in one line:
# keytool -genkey -keyalg RSA -alias tomcat -keystore /opt/tomcat/keystore.jks
Info | ||
---|---|---|

set password to: xyz123 (Bad for security, but just to get all installed and instructions on how to change it will be provided later in this guide) This gets stored in /opt/tomcat as keystore.jks |
Updating server.xml configuration file
It is located at /opt/tomcat/conf/server.xml path
# sudo nano /opt/tomcat/conf/server.xml
copy and replace below red colored content into it

Save the file and exit by clicking ctrl+x & press (y) for yes
Download drizzle jdbc connector and place it under lib folder
# cd /opt/tomcat/lib# wget http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/drizzle/jdbc/drizzle-jdbc/1.3/drizzle-jdbc-1.3.jar
Start and test tomcat:
# sudo $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh

Tomcat should be listening on localhost and your external ip if you have one. 0 0 [::]:8443 [::]:* LISTEN 27217/java You'll need this working to get mifos running. |
Step 3 - Mifos Platform and Database Setup/Population
Download and extract mifos platform:
# cd /usr/src
# wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/mifos/files/Mifos%20X/fineractplatform-16.03.03.RELEASE.zip
# unzip fineractplatform-16.03.03.RELEASE.zip
# cd fineractplatform-16.03.03.RELEASE
Info |
---|
For latest release you can download from or If wget/download fails, this link:- http://sourceforge.net/projects/mifos/files/Mifos%20X/ ) |
Create and populate databases (for more refer at:- https://github.com/openMF/mifosx/blob/master/INSTALL.md )
# mysql -u root -p
Enter mysql root password, and in mysql console type:
create database `mifosplatform-tenants`;
create database `mifostenant-default`;
exit
# mysql -u root -p mifosplatform-tenants < database/mifospltaform-tenants-first-time-install.sqlOptional - If you want to load sample data, otherwise you could skip this par:
# mysql -u root -p mifostenant-default < database/migrations/sample_data/load_sample_data.sql
Step 4 - Activate Mifos
Copy mifos and community app to Tomcat's webapps folder:
# cd /usr/src/fineractplatform-16.03.03.RELEASE
# cp fineract-provider.war /opt/tomcat/webapps/
# cp -r api-docs/ /opt/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/
# cp -r apps/community-app/ /opt/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/
# cp -r api-docs/ /opt/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/
Create a directory for reports (pentahoReports):
# sudo -i
# cd /root
# mkdir .mifosx
# cp -r /usr/src/fineractplatform-16.03.03.RELEASE/pentahoReports /root/.mifosx
Info | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
If /pentahoReports is not copied into /root/.mifosx, penatoh reports,ex:accounting reports will fail with: Income Statement.prpt","defaultUserMessage":"Unable to create key: No loader was able to handle the given key data: /usr/share/tomcat7/.mifosx/pentahoReports/Income Statement.prpt","userMessageGlobalisationCode":"error.msg.reporting.error","parameterName":null,"value" |
Info | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
|
and finally to restart
# sudo $CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh
# sudo $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh
Setup is complete and mifos should be running.
OPTIONAL:
*in separate terminal you may watch your Mifos come to life like this:
# tail -f /opt/tomcat/logs/catalina.out
(if all is good, after a while of loading, you should see something like: Root WebApplicationContext: initialization completed in 45876 ms)

Congratulations! Mifos: Platform application should be available @ https://[server ip address]:8443/mifosng-provider/api/v1/offices?tenantIdentifier=default&pretty=true Community application should be available @ https://[server ip address]:8443/community-app?baseApiUrl=https://[server ip address]:8443/mifosng-provider/api/v1/ username: mifos password: password |
Appendix A - To change mysql username/password
Change Mifos default mysql password:
# apt-get install phpmyadmin
1. Go to http://[yourserverip]/phpmyadmin and login
2. Click on Privileges, then Add a new User
3. Pick a username/password and create it. Assign full privileges globally, or on mifosplatform-tenants & mifostenant-default databases.
4. On the left, select/open mifosplatform-tenants database,
you should see a table with a single column , click "edit" infront of it.
Locate:
schema_username
schema_password
And set user/pass created in step #3.
Finally, edit
/opt/tomcat/conf/server.xml
username="root"
password="mysql"
And set user/pass created in step #3 here as well.
You can now set new mysql root password, without braking mifos.
Restart tomcat. Finish.
# sudo $CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh
# sudo $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh
