Installing a New Application Server

Configuring for a First-Time Installation

If the platform has been previously installed on this server, follow the instructions at Upgrades. Otherwise:

1. Review the Installable Version Release Notes.
2. Login to a command shell
3. Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable used by the installation/upgrade script to create configuration settings. For example:

   export JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk1.7.0_nn/

4. Go to the directory where the install will occur. For example:

   cd /opt/LongJump_platform

5. Copy the archive to that directory.
6. Unpack it: tar xvfz longjump_app_server.tar.gz
   The longjump_app_server/ folder is created.
7. Go to the installation folder.
8. Edit the installation.properties file to specify the settings for this instance.
9. Save the file and make a copy of it.
   • The settings must be the same for subsequent upgrades.
10. Run the installation script: #./configure.pl
    The application server is installed.
11. Set up LONGJUMP_HOME
12. Install the Chart Handling Libraries
    (These libraries can also be added later. They are required to email a chart or report.)
13. Start the Application Server

Important: If you plan to enable Java Code Governors and you are installing on Red Hat 6, be sure to carry out the Additional Installation Step for RedHat 6.
