This chapter describes how to install Studio software on Windows, UNIX, and Linux machines; it includes the following information:

 

Installing Studio

To install Studio:

  1. Ensure you have completed pre-installation steps. For information, see Pre-Installation Requirements.
  2. Back up the portal database. This standard procedure ensures that you can recover if there is a problem during installation.
  3. On the host machine for the Studio deployment, log in as the local administrator (for Windows) or the user created in User and Group Requirements (for UNIX or Linux).
  4. If your Image Service is on a separate machine, map or mount a network drive to the Image Service host computer. If you are able to write files to the Image Service directory you will not need to execute the separate step Installing the Image Service Files.
  5. Copy the installer (ALIStudio_v2-2.exe for Windows or ALIStudio_v2-2 for UNIX or Linux) from the release media to the disc location from which you plan to launch it (for example, C:\Temp or /tmp).
  6. Close all applications.
  7. To launch the installer:
    • On Windows: double-click ALIStudio_v2-2.exe.
    • On UNIX or Linux: $ ./ALIStudio_v2-2.
  8. Complete the installation wizard pages as described in the following table and according to the settings you planned when you completed the Installation Worksheet for AquaLogic Interaction Studio 2.2 MP1.
Note: The installer can reference a properties file so that installation wizard entries can be made automatically. The installer does not display the wizard pages for which it has the information required or when the pages do not apply to the application server you will be using. If you do not have a properties file, the installer will create one upon install completion for future use.
