Disabling the Prerequisites Check for Linux

You can modify the Linux version of the orchestration script if you want to skip the Prerequisites Check step.

The Linux version of the orchestration script may fail the Prerequisites Check step of the Endeca Server installer due to some missing files in your Linux 6 OS . These files aren't needed to run Endeca Server; therefore, you can disable the check by adding the -ignoreSysPrereqs argument to the line of the orchestration script that runs the Endeca Server installer.

To disable the Prerequisites Check in the Linux orchestration script:

  1. In the linux directory (which was created when you unpacked the linux_OC.tar file), make a back-up copy of the run_endecaserver_install.sh script.
  2. Open the run_endecaserver_install.sh script with a text editor.
  3. In the line which installs Endeca Server, add the -ignoreSysPrereqs argument just before the -silent argument: 
    printf "Installing Endeca Server.."
$TEMPDIR/bin/endecaserver/Disk1/runInstaller -jreLoc $JAVA_HOME -ignoreSysPrereqs 
   -silent -responseFile $TEMPDIR/rsp/endeca.silent.rsp -invPtrLoc $ORACLE_INV_PTR 
   &> $TEMPDIR/log/ENDECA_INSTALL.log
  4. Save the file.
