You can install the
Spotfire Server
files on Linux using the RPM-based installer.
Before you begin
- The
Spotfire
database setup is completed. For instructions, see
Spotfire database setup.
- You have root or sudo
access to the host.
Note: For security and
product performance reasons, it is recommended that you install
Spotfire Server
on a different computer than the database.
Procedure
-
Open a terminal and go to the directory that contains the server
installation file.
-
Enter the following command to install the server:
rpm -ivh tss-<version number>.x86_64.rpm
A successful execution of the command produces text
similar to this:
Preparing...
Updating / Installing...
l:tss-<version>-1-1
You must now execute /opt/tibco/tss/<version number>/configure to complete the configuration.
By default, the server is installed in the following directory:
/opt/tibco/tss/<version number>/.
-
Execute the
configure
script, specifying the values for the
different parameters.
<server installation dir>/<version number>/configure -s <SERVER_FRONTEND_PORT> -r <SERVER_BACKEND_REGISTRATION_PORT> -b <SERVER_BACKEND_COMMUNICATION_PORT>
Note: Include only
those parameters whose default values you are changing. The default values are
listed in the table below.
