Text Mode Installation
 |
This procedure represents the text installation mode, typically used in a Linux environment. For launch information using Graphical or Silent installation modes, see Graphical Mode Installation or Silent Mode Installation
|
Before Installation
• Make sure all of the prerequisites have been met.
|
|
If you plan to use an existing external instance of RabbitMQ or Apache Flink, instead of installing the components provided with the installer, those servers must be running during the Platform Analytics installation.
|
• Download the appropriate installer files for your operating system.
• Extract the downloaded files to a location on your host system.
Installation Steps
1. Open a terminal window and, as root user, launch the installer command: ./PlatformAnalytics-<n.n.n>-linux-x64-installer.run
|
|
An advanced option is available if you want to override the default user account during the installation. For more information about launching the installer with this option, see Change the User Account .
|
2. Accept the license agreement and press Enter.
3. Select the products you want to install. The default response for each component is y for Yes. You can press Enter to accept it and move on to the next component or clear it by changing it to n for No.
The components available for installation include the following:

5. Enter ThingWorx connection information, including the following parameters:
|
Parameter

ThingWorx IP Address or Host Name
|
Enter the IP address or host name of your ThingWorx server, which must already be installed and running.

Set to true in order to require the use of SSL when connecting to ThingWorx. The default value is false.

6. Enter RabbitMQ configuration information. The required information varies depending on the following:
◦ If you are installing the new RabbitMQ instance included with the installer, provide a RabbitMQ Username and Password. The RabbitMQ virtual host is set to the root directory by default: “/”
◦ If you are using an existing external RabbitMQ instance, provide an IP Address or Host Name for the external RabbitMQ, a Port number and a Virtual Host.
|
|
The RabbitMQ password will be encrypted automatically as part of the installation process.

7. Enter Flink configuration information. This step is necessary only if you have opted not to install the instance of Flink included with the installer, but instead plan to use an existing external Flink cluster. If so, provide the external Flink IP Address or Host Name and a Port number.
When you complete the last step, the installation begins. Depending on your operating system, several windows may open and then close while the process unpacks and installs the necessary libraries and settings. When the installation process is complete, an installation summary is displayed.
8. To view the entire summary, continue clicking Enter to scroll through the list of installed components.
