Installing the WAT on 64-bit Linux systems

The installation process consists of extracting a ZIP file to put the WAT files on disk. Also, in order to run the 32-bit version of Design Studio on a 64-bit system, you need to install several additional libraries described in steps 4 - 5.

To install the WAT on 64-bit Linux systems:

  1. In your local environment, locate the WAT software that you downloaded from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud.
  2. Extract the ZIP file to a local directory.
    On Linux, the ZIP file contains:
    • EID_<version>WebAcquisitionToolkit_Server.tar.gz
    • EID_<version>WebAcquisitionToolkit_License.txt
  3. Extract the tar.gz file with the following command:

    $tar xzf EID_3.2_WebAcquisitionToolkit_Server.tar.gz

  4. Obtain the following libraries from your system administrator:
    • glibc.i686
    • libXext.so.6
    • libXtst.so.6
  5. Install the libraries by running the following command:
    yum install glibc.i686
    yum install libXext.so.6
    yum install libXtst.so.6
By default, the 64-bit distribution of WAT extracts into a directory named ../Kapow Katalyst 9.2.9 x64.

After installation, go on to Licensing the WAT.
