Installing standalone TIBCO Spotfire Statistics Services on Linux

Follow these instructions to install a standalone version of TIBCO Spotfire® Statistics Services on a Linux or a UNIX computer.

1. From the installation media, unpack Spotfire Statistics Services .tar.
   The operating system executable for 64-bit Linux is TIB_sf_statsvcs_10.10.0_linux24gl23_x86_64.tar
2. Review the release notes (if you have not already done so), and then run .bin to install.
3. Follow the steps in the Spotfire Statistics Services installation wizard. (As you complete steps in the console, press ENTER to proceed to the next step.)
4. License Agreement: Read the license agreement and if you agree to the terms, select I accept the terms of the License Agreement.
5. Installation Type: Select Standalone. If you select Cluster, you should be following the instruction to install a cluster. See Cluster deployment.
6. Installation Path: Either accept the default, type a path, or choose a path.
7. Ports (panel 1): Specify the HTTP port that is used by clients or APIs to access the service.
   1. For Main Service Port, either accept the default or type a port number for the service.
      From here, we will refer to this value as port, as it appears in the server URL as http://servername:port/service_name. For example, http://MyServer:8080/TERRServer.
   1. In JMX Monitoring Port, either accept the default or type a port number.
      Remember that the port numbers must be unique for each Spotfire Statistics Services instance on the machine.
8. Ports (panel 2): Select HTTP.
   If you plan to use a front-end proxy or load balancer, you should select AJP. For more information, see Load balancer.
9. Management User: Provide the user name and password for authentication when using a JMX tool such as TIBCO Hawk or jconsole (for example). The default user name is admin.
   These credentials are written to a server configuration file to provide for authentication when an authorized user accesses monitoring services. The value you provide here is encrypted when it is stored in the configuration file.

   These credentials are specific to this Spotfire Statistics Services installation, and because they are stored in a server configuration file, we recommend not using your login credentials.

10. Service URL: This is the URL that accesses the Spotfire Statistics Services landing page. It is a concatenation of the server name, the port, and the service_name. For a standalone installation, just accept the default.
11. Service User: Accept the default. The service runs in the context of the user that you are using to run this installer. The specified account must have permission to access any other Spotfire Statistics Services resources. (See Preparing for installing a standalone service for more information.)
12. Pre-Installation Summary: Review your options, and then click Install.
    The Installing Spotfire Statistics Services (service_name) panel appears while the server is installed and configured.
13. Optional: Run the following command as root: SPSERVER_HOME/init.d/register-service.sh. Alternately, you can configure post-installation options before completing this step.
    Note: On UNIX/Linux, you must configure the service to run when the computer starts by registering the init scripts with system init.
14. Manually start the service by running the following command: SPSERVER_HOME/init.d/spserver start.
