Prepare Admin access

Installation must be performed by a root user.

The Store service requires a dedicated OS user and group to run.

User can use the following command : groupadd storeadms && useradd -g storeadms -md /home/storeadm -s /bin/bash storeadm

The supported OS locale is en_US.UTF-8.

Use the following procedure to make sure check the supported locale configuration and change it if necessary

Prepare your installation file and environment

Ensure your /tmp directory has at least 1GB of free space

Installation from a different directory is possible. If you opt to run the install from a directory other than /tmp, ensure that this directory:

• • Has at least 1GB of free space
  • Is NOT one of these folders:
    • /app
    • /logs
    • /data
    • /shared
    • /installs

Download the CEF file and transfer it to the /tmp directory on a freshly the pre-installed OS server.

Setup your network (consult your network admin)

Setup DNS - your network admin may need to assist you with this action.

Setup NTP - it has to be the same used for your IBM DataPower Gateways.

• Consult your Linux and Network network admin on about the proper way to configure this service.
• Ensure the NTP RPM is installed. Consider executing the following command:
  • yum install ntp
  • ntpdate <ntp server hostname>
  • systemctl enable ntpd.service
  • systemctl start ntpd.service 

• To find your server name, execute the command: hostname

Verify all required RPMs are installed

• httpd version 2.4.6-67 and above (together with the following dependencies: mailcap, apr, httpd_tools)
• mod_ssl
• cURLcurl
• wget
• unzip
• iptables
• iptables-services
• bc
• fontconfig

If these are not found on your system - you will need to install them yourself. The installation is usually performed by executing: yum install httpd mod_ssl curl wget unzip iptables iptables-services bc fontconfig

If this command can not find the package on account of it not being included in the repository, you will need to add the containing repository or manually download the RPMs files and install them.
RedHat Only - Execute the following command: subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-rh-common-rpms

Ensure the httpd service is enabled by executing the command: systemctl enable httpd.service

Ensure the httpd service is started by executing the command: systemctl start httpd.service 

• This RPM is not always accessible from existing repositories. Try first to install it by executing the command: yum install mod_proxy_html.
  If you get the error "No package mod_proxy_html available. Error: Nothing to do", you will need to download the RPM yourself, using one of the following methods:
• Method 1 - download the RPM
  • Find your httpd version by executing the command: rpm -qa | grep httpd
  • The system will print something resembling httpd-2.4.6-67.el7_2.4.x86_64. This is the mod_proxy version you need to download
  • RedHat Only - Download the mod_proxy with the correct version from the following url:
    https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/mod_proxy_html/2.4.6-45.el7/x86_64/f21541eb/package (change the version part of the url
    to match the httpd version you found above). Use wget or any other mechanism to download, and ensure to place the RPM inside the /tmp directory of the pre-installed OS server.
  • Install the RPM by executing the command:  rpm -Uvh mod_proxy_html-2.4.6-67.el7_2.4.x86_64.rpm (Note: your version may vary, as described above)
• Method 2 - add a repository and install it from the repository using the commands (RedHat Only)
  

  • subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-optional-rpms

  • yum install mod_proxy_html

OPTIONAL - Install kibana (kibana-4.5.1)

This RPM is required only if you would like to manually query the Big Data store.
