You can install the
Spotfire Server
files on Linux using the RPM-based installer.
Before you begin
You must have 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
-
Copy the Spotfire Server installation software package from its
download directory to a temporary directory on the target host.
For example,
/temp/
.
-
Open a terminal and go to the directory that contains the server
installation file.
-
Enter the following command to install the server:
sudo rpm -ivh spotfireserver-<version_number>.x86_64.rpm
A successful execution of the command produces text
similar to this:
Verifying...
Preparing...
Updating / installing...
spotfireserver-<version>-<version>-1
You must now execute /opt/spotfire/spotfireserver/<version number>/configure to complete the configuration.
By default, the server is installed in the following directory:
/opt/spotfire/spotfireserver/<version
number>/.
-
Execute the
configure
script, specifying the values for the
different parameters.
Note: Alternatively,
you can run the script without any parameters. In this case you will be
prompted for the missing information.
<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.
If successful, text similar to the following is shown on
the command line:
Post install configuration of Spotfire Server <version number> was successful.
