Installing Information Console on Linux
This section describes how to install Information Console for Linux. Before you begin the installation process, ensure that you have Actuate administrator, system administrator, and web administrator privileges. If you download an Actuate product for Linux from the Actuate FTP software distribution site, keep all the files together in their original relative locations after you extract them.
Information Console installation requires the following information:
Installation directory
$HOME, the account’s home directory, is the default installation directory.
Port used by the Apache Tomcat Information Console service
If you are using a firewall, ensure that the firewall passes the port number you select. The default port is 8900.
Encyclopedia volume name that Information Console accesses
The default is the current machine.
You can install Information Console in following ways:
Use an installation script.
The installation script configures Information Console, creates shortcuts, and extracts and installs all necessary files. Use this option for automated configuration.
Deploy a WAR file to an application server.
Deploying directly requires that you configure Information Console for your application server. Use this option if your application server supports configuration of an application from a WAR file.
