Installing a node manager (tarball Linux)
You can install a node manager on Linux using the tarball installer.
About this task
- You might need to configure Security-Enhanced Linux in your system, if enabled, to install the node manager using the tarball. Check the corresponding documentation for your operating system.
Note: We strongly advise that you install each Spotfire node manager on
a separate computer (physical computer, virtual machine or container).
Before you begin
- Spotfire Server is installed and running.
- You have root or sudo access to the host.
- The commands zip and unzip are installed.
- In the firewall of the computer on which you are installing the node manager, open the ports that the node manager and the services use. The default ports are listed in the Installation parameters table under Node manager installation.
Procedure
What to do next
After installation, start the new node manager. You can start and stop the node manager from the command line. See Starting or stopping a node manager (Linux) or Manually starting the node manager process (tarball Linux). The second procedure does not require root user privileges.
If you intend to use the node manager with a Web Player or Automation Services service, you must also install some required packages. Read more in Running Web Player or Automation Services on Linux.
