Unpack the installation files into the installation directory

The installation directory stores Empirica Signal components during the installation process.

Perform these steps using the non-privileged user account on the application server.

Note: If you have previously installed Empirica Signal 8.0 on the same application server, before executing the steps below, rename the old Signal_Install directory. For example, change its name to Signal_Install_old.

Unpack the Signal_Install-8_1_1_0_XXX.tar.gz file into a directory that is accessible to the WebLogic software, for example:
$ cd /u01/stage

$ tar xvf /u01/stage/Signal_Install-8_1_1_0_XXX.tar.gz

The /u01/stage/Signal_Install directory is created.

Note: In this document, <INSTALL_DIR> refers to the directory created in this step. The document assumes that you are installing to this directory.
Unpack the Signal-8_1_1_0_XXX.zip file:
1. Unpack the contents of the Signal-8_1_1_0_XXX.zip file into the directory, for example:
  $ unzip Signal-8_1_1_0_XXX.zip -d /u01/stage/Signal_Install/Signal
2. Provide non-privileged account the execute permission on the MGPS subdirectory, for example:
  $ chmod u+x /u01/stage/Signal_Install/Signal/WEB-INF/classes/MGPS
If you use Empirica Topics, unpack the TopicsService-8_1_1_0_XXX.zip file into the TopicsService subdirectory in the installation directory, for example:
$ unzip TopicsService-8_1_1_0_XXX.zip -d /u01/stage/Signal_Install/TopicsService
Unpack the Signal-8_1_1_0_XXX-Database.zip file:
1. Create a Database directory:
  $ mkdir /u01/stage/Database
2. Unpack the contents of the Signal-8_1_1_0_XXX-Database.zip file into the directory, for example:
  $ unzip Signal-8_1_1_0_XXX-Database.zip -d /u01/stage/Database
