Create a ‘MiniSAP’ Downloads Folder

The course is organised to use this new ‘~/Downloads/MiniSAP/’ folder in the Host Operating System; which is your personal computers operating system, not the virtual machine.

Purpose: Use during the installation and configuration of the MiniSAP Developer Edition in a virtual machine.

It’s not for the ‘Everyday’ experience while learning SAP technologies. 

Tip: This course uses the ‘User Home (“~/“)’ folder/directory convention, aka the tilde-slash directory, to identify where files live in the hard drive.

For Example: A user account called ‘Demo’ has a ‘User Home (“~/”)’ directory/folder on the hard drive at:

• Linux: The ~/Downloads/ directory is the /home/Demo/Downloads/ directory.
• OSX: The ~/Downloads/ directory is the /Users/Demo/Downloads/ directory.
• Windows: The ~/Downloads/ folder is the /Users/Demo/Downloads/ folder.

Action Required: Please take a minute to create these folders:

1. Create ‘~/Downloads/MiniSAP/‘ folder.
   
2. Create ‘~/Downloads/MiniSAP/ABAP7524/‘ folder.
3. Create ‘~/Downloads/MiniSAP/GuestOS/‘ folder.
4. Create ‘~/Downloads/MiniSAP/HostOS/‘ folder.
5. Create ‘~/Downloads/MiniSAP/Java/‘ folder.
6. Create ‘~/Downloads/MiniSAP/UserABAP/‘ folder.
7. Create ‘~/Downloads/MiniSAP/UserBW/‘ folder.
8. Create ‘~/Downloads/MiniSAP/UserUI5/‘ folder. 

Tip: The three ‘User*’ folders are not used by this course; however, go ahead and create them as a place holder to keep your downloads organised. It can get really messy and frustrating when you waste time installing in-compatible pre-requisite applications. 

Congratulations, keep going.
