I have created this document for people who need to install SAPGUI into Linux.

  • Hardware: CPU: Intel PentiumIII with 800 MHz
  • RAM: 256MB
  • Software:
  • OS: SuSE Linux 9.3 - 10.1, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4
  • JVM: Sun Java Runtime Evironment 1.4.2 (32-bit) or 5.0 (32-bit) including Java Plugin
(please see:

2) Download SAPGUI from:

(note: a more recent version may be available)

4) In the downloaded folder, execute

Code:

5) Executing SAPGUI

a) Guilogon:
