Press Enter to run and when prompted to press Y, do so!!!
Smap Server was designed to install all the packages including Apache Tomcat, PostgreSQL, PostGIS etc, but on Ubuntu Desktop I have been facing some problems as the Smaps packages fail to install on their own. On this Tutorial we have already installed some packages such as Tomcat Apache, PostgreSQL and PostGIS, therefore Smap will skip all these packages and add on the leftovers without any problems. After the Installation is complete, run the patchdb.sh and the Deploy.sh in the Deploy folder to make sure all packages are updated

Open browser and type localhost, Smap Server will open
Click login and put username and password as admin Specify users
