Installing on Linux

Use the platform-native installer to install the product on Linux platforms. The package provides a collection of RPM, DEB, and TAR files.

Before you begin

On SUSE Linux, ensure that thelibjvm library is already installed.

    Procedure
  1. Download the installation package.
    TIB_acd_5.0.2_linux_x86_64.zip
  2. Change the directory to the download directory or move the file to a preferred extraction location and extract the Apache Cassandra archive files.
    unzip TIB_acd_5.0.2_linux_x86_64.zip
    This command creates a directory TIB_acd_5.0.2, and places the RPM, DEB, and TAR installation archives in that directory.
  3. Change the directory to the installation directory.
    cd TIB_acd_5.0.2
  4. Depending on the Linux variant, install using one of the following commands.
    Linux Variant Command
    Red Hat, CentOS
    yum install -y rpm/*.rpm
    Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora
    dpkg -i deb/*.deb
    SUSE
    zypper install rpm/*.rpm
    Note: If you encounter issues with dependencies, you can safely ignore those dependencies and proceed with the installation.
    Other Linux variants If your Linux variant does not include yum, dpkg, or zypper, you can use TAR as follows:

    a. Create the /tmp/tib-acd-installation/ directory.

       mkdir -p /tmp/tib-acd-installation/
    Note: You can use different directories to install different versions of the product simultaneously.

    b. Copy the tar files into this directory.

       cp tar/* /tmp/tib-acd-installation				  

    c. Change directory to the copied directory and run the following:

        cd /tmp/tib-acd-installation
    for f in *; do tar xvf $f; done

    d. Move the extracted files to /opt/tibco/acd/.

        sudo mkdir -p /opt/tibco/acd/
    sudo cp -R TIB_ACD_5.0.2/* /opt/tibco/acd

    e. To create symlinks in /var/lib/cassandra and /var/log/cassandra, use the post_install.sh script from the TIB_acd_5.0.2_linux_x86_64-extras.tar.gz package.

    The installation utilities yum, dpkg, or zypper install Apache Cassandra inthe /opt/tibco/ directory.

    The archive utility TAR installs the software that is then moved to the /opt/tibco/ directory.
