Unfortunately, the new installers are only for Windows. Installing on Ubuntu
is quite easy, though, no real need for installers since apt-get (and
synaptic) are so great. In fact, I and several others prefer to run DHIS 2
on Ubuntu. Since it is such a great platform, we should add specific
instructions for setting it up on Ubuntu on the install page (maybe you can
help us out): http://www.hisp.info/confluence/display/DOC/Installing+DHIS+2

It's been a while since I did so, but hopefully, other people will chime in
with tips.

You need
1) Sun Java SDK and Tomcat

https://jdk-distros.dev.java.net/ubuntu.html
2) Postgresql

Then, you must download the dhis.war and place it in tomcat/webapps, and
dhis_sample.backup (which you restore using pgAdmin). Finally, you must
configure hibernate.properties.
