The Application Server is provided as a compressed Linux file: <tt>longjump_app_server.tar.gz</tt>. The file must be unpacked (uncompressed). Instructions are provided for [[#First-Time Installation|First-Time Installation]] and [[#Upgrades|Upgrades]].
;Considerations:
*By default, the application server is installed to this destination directory: <tt>/~dirname/longjump_app_server</tt>,<br>where <tt>/~dirname</tt> is defined in <tt>installation.properties</tt> as the <tt>install_dir</tt> parameter
*Upgrades to the application server should use the same destination directory
*Unpacking the <tt>.tar.gz</tt> file overwrites the <tt>longjump_app_server</tt> file in the destination directory
*Optionally, specify an <tt>install_dir</tt> path in the <tt>installation.properties</tt> file
:*That destination path should be used for future upgrades
====First-Time Installation====
If the platform has been previously installed on this server, follow the instructions at [[#Upgrades|Upgrades]]. Otherwise:
# Review the [[Installable Version Release Notes]].
# Review the [[Installable Version Release Notes]].
#Login to a command shell
# Ensure that the [[Hardware Requirements]] are met.
#Set the <tt>JAVA_HOME</tt> environment variable used by the installation/upgrade script to create configuration settings. For example:
# Ensure that the [[Software Requirements#Required for Installation]] are met.
#:<tt>export JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk1.7.0_nn/</tt>
# [[Configure the MySQL Server]] so it is ready for use.
#Go to the directory where the install will occur. For example:
