Tell a thanks to Anton if possible Donate, without his effort this type of thing is available to corportate people only.

Thanks for sharing the steps. Let's leave it on the forum for now because it's very version/os-specific.

I wants to install Traccar server on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS (Digitalocean)
after command

#apkg - configure - a

server say

No command 'apkg' found, did you mean:
 Command 'apg' from package 'apg' (main)
 Command 'dpkg' from package 'dpkg' (main)

whats going wrong?

Ubuntu uses different package manager, so you need to use different commands to install dependencies.

Use dpkg instead apkg , will work

like: #dpkg - configure - a

I have VPS ubuntu-14.04-x86_64 and have problemems.

1 step: OK
2 step: OK
3 step: OK
4 step:
# sudo your not working
# apt - get update apt-get update (apt-get without space) - OK

# wget https://github.com/tananaev/traccar/releases/download/v3.1/traccar-linux-64-3.1.zip
(In case you use VPS 64-bit (recommended)

not working,
# apt-get https://github.com/tananaev/traccar/releases/download/v3.5/traccar-linux-64-3.5.zip - OK
#apkg - configure - a - not working
#apt-get install mysql-server phpmyadmin unzip - OK, after install unzip. (apt-get unzip)
#vi /opt/traccar/conf/linux.cfg Press "E" to edit and open console. Paste code after picture and change //localhost/anyusername to //localhost/MY USERNAME, anyusername</entry> to MY USERNAME</entry>youphpmyadminpassword</entry> to MY PHPADMIN PASSWORD</entry>
and this not working, i cant back. If i write &lt;strong&gt;: wq&lt;/strong&gt; not working. Ok, I go to next step. <code># sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre</code> not working. (# apt-get install openjdk-7-jre) - OK <code># sudo /opt/traccar/bin/traccar start</code> not working. Whats problem?

This definitely incorrect:
apt-get https://github.com/tananaev/traccar/releases/download/v3.5/traccar-linux-64-3.5.zip

Anton, sorry.
apt-get install https://github.com/tananaev/traccar/releases/download/v3.5/traccar-linux-64-3.5.zip
this is correct. I missing add INSTALL in code. You can edit my post, plesae ;)

It is still incorrect. Why are you using "apt-get"? Please read instructions more careful.

Because do not begin installation

So because wget didn't work, you decided to run random incorrect command? If something doesn't work, please provide the error message.

Hello, can you please say me what ports enable on the firewall in Centos?. Thank you

You need to enable ports that you want to use.

Enable only port 8082 in the centos server is enough for traccar and for test with mobile device? or in addition is necesary open the port 5055 in the server for the mobile device application. Thanks
