DHIS Live does not come with demo data, they have to be downloaded
separately and loaded into an empty Postgres database, and then you need to
change the hibernate.properties file to point to the new db.

Not sure what causes this, could perhaps be write permissions?

There does seem to be some problems with the H2 db. We should check this,
but I think you will not encounter them with MySql or Postgres.

Running ./startup.sh is the standard way to start.

Yes, but unfortunately we don't have the SL sample data in MySql format.
You could export some of the metadata and data from the online demo and
import to your local instance to quickly get started with something.
