How to: SAP® on Linux

Launch Guide

If you successfully installed SAP® on Linux, this guide will help you start it.

Launching

Step 1: Create Launch Script (Courtesy of Linus)

#!/bin/bash


cd ~/.wine/drive_c/users/$USER/AppData/Roaming/Zebedee/
wine zebedee.exe -f client.zbd -d &
PID=$!
wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/SAP/FrontEnd/SAPGUI/saplogon.exe
kill -9 $PID

Write this to a file called startsap and make it executable with chmod +x startsap. In case you are using a custom wineprefix, you will need to adjust the path accordingly.

Step 2: Launch SAP®

Terminal window
./startsap

Step 3 (Optional): Move the script to a more convenient location

Terminal window
sudo cp ./startsap /usr/local/bin/startsap

If you have done everything correctly, you should now be able to launch and use SAP® on Linux. If you have any issues, please refer to the installation guide or contact us via a github issue.
