If you cannot apply the RPM files because RPMs are not supported by your target platform, you
can use the Zip files built aside the RPMs. The Zip files contain
install.sh and uninstall.sh scripts to install the
applications and services. Even if these scripts internally call the scriptlets used in the RPM
approach, they won't provide you with an upgrade mechanism like the RPM approach. That is why it
is highly recommended to use the RPMs if possible.
To install a service or a tool with the Zip files you need to do the following:
Extract the Zip file to an arbitrary folder except any folder below
/opt/coremediaas this may lead to conflicts.For the first installation, you may edit the property file below the
INSTALLfolder. It is the one used for post-configuring the first installation. Alternatively you skip this step and reconfigure the application after the installation as described later on.Execute the
install.shscript.After the installation script has succeeded configure the applications property file below
/etc/coremediaand reconfigure the service or tool. A service can be reconfigured calling service SERVICE_NAME reconfigure whereas the tools provide you with areconfigure-tool.shscript below the installation directory of the tool, such as/opt/coremedia/cm8-cms-toolsfor the Content Management Server tools.
Now you have installed CoreMedia DXP 8 applications on Linux using the Zip files. To start the services follow the instructions shown in the section called “Starting the Services”.
To uninstall a service or a tool you simply need to execute the
uninstall.sh script in the specific installation directory.
