Spotfire Server Installation
There are several different options available to install Spotfire Server.
The Spotfire Server installer includes three major components: A Java environment (a Java Development Kit), a Tomcat application server, and a Spotfire Server web application.
The JAVA_HOME of the Apache Tomcat is set to the path of the installed Java Development Kit.
Depending on the method you choose to set up the database, you will run the server installation before or after you create the database. The database must be set up before you run the bootstrap command.
Select the appropriate installation procedure depending on your target operative system and provide the required parameters as indicated below.
