Dear Sisay

You can use the following link:

It will guide you through the steps to install and configure commcareHQ, on Ubuntu 18.04. It's better to use Ubuntu 18.04 since the steps are well-tested on 18.04.

Hi Sisay,

Normally I would agree that using the platform that has been the best tested would be the wisest approach. But I appreciate your concerns about Ubuntu 18.04 -- it is reaching end-of-life on April 30.

You should not encounter any problems if you use Ubuntu 20.04. CommCare engineers have been developing CommCare HQ on Ubuntu 20.04 for years, and Dimagi is developing a process for migrating environments to 20.04.

The instructions that @demis08 linked to should also work for Ubuntu 20.04 without any changes.

Please let us know if anything does not work as expected.

Hi @swebshet,

I just want to amend what @Norman_Hooper said to say that the next version of Ubuntu that we are currently working on targeting is 22.04 ("Jammy Jellyfish"), skipping over 20.04.

Best,
Danny

have you added the proper settings inside install-config.yml?
the following setting requires values

env_name: ""
site_host: "" 
server_host_name: ""
ssh_public_key: ""
ssh_username: ""
