I have installed Ofbiz using ant load-demo start and its working fine. I can start http://localhost:8080/catalog and http://localhost:8080/ecommerce but when I am going to start the pos it is not starting. When I use java -jar ofbiz.jar -pos its gives me the following exception

Exception in thread "main" org.ofbiz.base.start.StartupException: Couldn't not f

Ofbiz does not package POS module by default. The POS module need to be downloaded separately Ofbiz POS

I'm having the same issue, which version of ofbiz are you using?

There is a ticket in the Ofbiz's Jira that exposes the same issue with the version 13. * Apparently they remove the POS functionality in this version, and you have to do some workarounds to make this working in this version.

To complete the above answer, here is an excerpt of the OFBIz POS official documentation

With OFBIZ-7804 The POS has been pushed in OFBiz Attic.

The last released version with the POS available was R12.04.06. It's though still available in the R14.12 and 15.12 non released branches. It'll not be available with the R16 release and further. All the POS official documentation is reliable and usable before revision 1754402
