Hi, as I struggled about running axelor from source at the first time, I thought about writting a script to deploy any recent version of axelor from sources on ubuntu, it might need improvement, feel free to collaborate to make it better.
I did not try it yet.

Notes
- Customize variables (
POSTGRES_PASSWORD,GRADLE_VERSION, etc.) as needed. - Save the above script as
install_axelor.sh. - Give execute permission:
chmod +x install_axelor.sh. - Run the script:
./install_axelor.sh.
Once the script completes, you should be able to access to Axelor at
http://<your-server-ip>:8080/axelor-erp-vYOUR_AXELOR_VERSION
