Installing Bika LIMS on Plone 5.0

Question

I am trying to install Plone in Ubuntu LTS 14 (newly built server) with Bika with the procedure here: https://github.com/bikalabs/Bika-LIMS/blob/0c606e0/INSTALL.rst

I can start the Plone server using the command:

sudo -u plone_daemon bin/plonectl zeoserver start
/usr/local/Plone/zeocluster# sudo -u plone_daemon bin/plonectl restart zeoserver
zeoserver: .
daemon process started, pid=3864
/usr/local/Plone/zeocluster# sudo -u plone_daemon bin/plonectl status zeoserver
zeoserver: program running; pid=3864

But when I start the client1, it shows

ERROR Application Could not import Products.ATExtensions':

sudo -u plone_daemon bin/plonectl client1 fg

The client1 could not be started.

Could you please help advise what the possible cause could be?

Here are the error messages while starting the client1:

/usr/local/Plone/zeocluster# sudo -u plone_daemon bin/plonectl fg client1

Answer 1

Bika LIMS will not work out of the box in Plone 5, as it depends on Products.ATExtensions and this package seems not to be compatible with Plone 5.

Besides that, Archetypes is not installed by default on Plone 5.
