This guide describes how to install Axional Studio
1 Installation Prerequisites and Requirements
To setup a server a minimum software should be installed in the guest Linux
computer
- A Linux operating system, with at least 2 GB of RAM.
- The last release of Java 14.
- The internet connection must be enabled, due the install files are downloaded from an external repository.
1.1 Java
You can download the OpenJDK version 14 from the offical site: OpenJDK and install it in /opt directory as user root.
For Graal support please ask the provider for the file graalvm-e6fa91dcc5-java14-20.3.0.tar. Once you have the file, the following steps must be executed, as root user.
su -
in /opt directory and rename it to graalvm-java14-20.3.0:
cd /opt tar xvf graalvm-java14-20.3.0.tar mv graalvm-03ae3dddf8-java14-20.3.0-dev graalvm-java14-20.3.0
1.2 Fontconfig
It can be necessary to install fontconfig in order to avoid a NullPointerException error in:
sun.awt.FontConfiguration / sun.font.FontManagerFactory#getInstance.
In Ubuntu based OS you can do
sudo apt install fontconfig
or
sudo yum install
in RedHat based OS (in Centos, for example).
1.3 Create the user axional
We recommend to install it, in the /home/axional/studio directory.
As root user create the user axional:
$ su - root $ useradd axional $ passwd axional
After the user axs is created, login with this user and create the studio subdirectory:
$ su - axional $ mkdir studio $ cd studio
1.4 Axional installer
Working as axional user, on directory /home/axional/studio download the installation tool using the common curl and tar commands:
$ su - axional
$ curl -k -s "https://bitbucket.org/deister/axional-install/get/master.tar.gz" | tar -x -z --strip-components=1 --exclude ".git*"
2 Install the application
Use axional installer
to setup the remote software repository and the credentials.
Type this command to install the product while in the newly created /home/axional/studio folder:
$ ./install.sh install
* Looking for curl...
* Looking for unzip...
* Check Java ...
= Found java executable in PATH
= Java version 9.0.4
* Looking for gradle
* Trying to download Gradle distribution (https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.10.2-bin.zip)
First time you execute the installer, it will ask for some parameters to configure the installation framework. You'll be asked for a user and password for accesing deister nexus repository. Ask for it to deister support team.
2.1 Connection details
Installer will prompt for connection parameters to the Nexus
repository such as the URL, user and password
================================================================ CONFIGURATION ================================================================ Nexus Base URL [http://nexus3.deistercloud.com/]: Nexus User []: UserProvided Nexus User Password []: PassProvided
2.2 Choose product
Next the the installer will prompt for product
. We will enter studio.
The script will prompt for weather we want to download DB exports (dictionaries) along with the studio product, or not.
Do you want to download DB exports for standard dictionaries? [y/n]
2.3 Choose the version
We will choose to install a development version. Development versions are released more frequently and include the latest changes in code.
Production Environment
For Production Environment install a release version. Check guide here
2.3.1 Installing a development version
To install a development version, answer y to the question:
Do you want to download from the SNAPSHOT repository? y
Before continuing the installer will review the parameters:
CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS -------------------------------------- NEXUS_BASE_URL: NEXUSUSER.....: deister-software-dist NEXUSPASS.....: ********** NEXUSPRODUCT..: studio PRODUCTNAME...: axional.studio.core PRODUCTVERS...: 0.0.+ Are You Sure? [y/n]
This questions are asked only first time and stored in file .install.rc. Following use of install.sh shell, will use parameters answered for accesing deister nexus repositories.
3 Network configuration
It is required that the localhost name resolves to an address in order for the server to know it's IP address. For example, in Linux systems, it can be necessary to create an entry in the "hosts" file (/etc/hosts):
... 127.0.0.1 my_host ...
4 Firewall configuration
If firewalld is used you're required to open ports used for Axional services. For axional microservices you need to create a service:
firewall-cmd --permanent --new-service=ax-microservices firewall-cmd --permanent --service=ax-microservices --set-description="Deister Axional Microservices" firewall-cmd --permanent --service=ax-microservices --set-short="ax-microservices" firewall-cmd --permanent --service=ax-microservices --add-port=7001/tcp firewall-cmd --permanent --service=ax-microservices --add-protocol=tcp #firewall-cmd --permanent --service=ax-microservices --add-source-port=portid[-portid]/protocol #firewall-cmd --permanent --service=ax-microservices --add-module=module #firewall-cmd --permanent --service=ax-microservices --set-destination=ipv:address[/mask]
Next, open firewall ports by adding services:
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=http firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=https firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=ax-microservices firewall-cmd --reload
Finally, verify open ports and services:
firewall-cmd --zone=public --list-services firewall-cmd --zone=public --list-ports
