Run the installation wizard on Linux

The PulseUno installation wizard for Linux guides you through the installation process step-by-step.

Before installing, ensure that you have fulfilled the prerequisites. For details, see Before you install.

To install PulseUno on Linux:

  1. Download the installation tar file.

  2. As a root user, navigate to the location of the tar file and extract the installer.

    To extract the installer using a command line, run this command:

    Copy code 
    tar xvf <PulseUno-installer>.tar

  3. Launch the installation wizard. To launch from a command line, run this command:

    Copy code 
    ./<PulseUno-installer>.bin


    For example:

    Copy code 
    ./pulseuno-23.2.0-setup-linux.bin

  4. Select the language of the installer. Choose from German, English, French, or Portuguese. By default, English is selected.

    Launch the installation wizard from a command line using this command:

    Copy code 
    ./<PulseUno-installer>.bin -l <language-argument>


    where:

    <PulseUno-installer>.bin
    		Specifies the name of the PulseUno installation file.
    <language-argument>

    Specifies the language of the installer:

    • zh_CN for Chinese

    • ja for Japanese

    For example, to run the installer in Chinese, enter:

    Copy code 
    ./pulseuno-23.2.0-setup-linux.bin -l zh_CN

    Note: This option doesn't set the language of the PulseUno user interface. The installer delivers the English version of PulseUno. To change the default UI language after the installation, see Set system properties.

  5. Read and accept the license agreement.

  6. Enter the installation path or accept the default location:

    /opt/opentext/pulseuno

  7. Select the modules to install:

    • PulseUno server
    • Vault server
    • Git server

    By default, all modules are selected.

  8. Enter an encryption passphrase to connect the modules.

    Note: If you are installing each module separately, you must use the same passphrase for all the modules. You can later connect other Git and Vault instances to PulseUno using this passphrase. The passphrase is case-sensitive.

  9. If you are installing PulseUno without the Git or Vault modules:

    • To configure the Git and Vault connection, enter the hostname and port for the remote Git and Vault servers. To enable an HTTPS connection, select the HTTPS option.

    • To skip configuring the Git and Vault connection, select Do not configure PulseUno for a remote Git/Vault server. You can connect the servers after the installation. See Post-installation steps.

  10. Enter the root directory for the data directories or accept the default location:

    /opt/opentext/pulseuno/data

  11. Select the database from the following options:

    • Oracle

    • PostgreSQL

  12. Provide the database details:

    Setting Description

    Port (PostgreSQL only) The port for the PostgreSQL server.
    Default: 5432
    Database The database name.
    User The username to connect to the database.
    Password The password to connect to the database.

  13. Specify the Common Tomcat network settings:

    Note: For security, do not use the root user to own and run Tomcat.
    Port number The port for Common Tomcat.
    Default: 8080

  14. Enter the host name and port for the mail server to use for sending notifications.

    Default host name: localhost

    Default port: 25

  15. Review the installation details. Go back if you need to change the settings.
