Installation of  

1. Create a namespace in which you want to install .

   Code Block
   $ kubectl create ns <namespace>

   
   

   Note
   title Note!
   If you plan to use the same EKS cluster to host multiple namespaces of , you must enable the aws.namespace.enabled property in the values.yaml file before performing the installation. All subsequent installations of  in the same cluster must also have this property set to enable.

   When planning for multiple  installations in one EKS cluster, the following property must be set to enable for the installations to be successful. Insert the option below to the helm install command shown in step 4.

   Code Block
   --set aws.namespace.enabled=true

   Once enabled, the name given to your namespace will act as an identifier for the domain name and postgres.db name that will be installed.

   The domain name will have the namespace added into it, resulting in a name that looks like mzonline-namespace.mz-eks.example.com.

   The namespace will also be applied as a suffix to the postgres.db value like so <postgres.db><namespace>.

2. Run the following commands by replacing the placeholders with the values from the terraform output

   Place Holder	Value from terraform output
   <cluster_name>	Follow as per the value configured in mz-eks.yaml Default is mz-eks
   <region>	Follow as per the value configured in mz-eks.yaml Default is eu-west-1
   <certificate_arn>	certificate_arn
   <db_endpoint>	db_endpoint without the “:port” part
   <db_user>	db_user
   <encrypted_admin_password>	echo -n db_password | base64 Where db_password is the value from the terraform output.
   <eks_domain_zone_name>	eks_domain_zone_name

   
   
   

3. Install Platform, use the License Key file from License Key and Helm Chart (3.2). This is an example of a minimal installation.
   

   Note
   If you are doing multiple Usage Engine installations on the cluster, please ensure to read through through Cluster Multi Tenancy(3.2) instructions.

   -  Use a suitable unique name for <release_platform> in the command below.

   Code Block

   $ helm install <release_platform> ./usage-engine-private-edition --wait --timeout=5m \ --set environment=aws \ --set aws.cluster_name=<cluster_name> \ --set aws.region=<region> \ --set global.domain=<cluster_name>.<eks_domain_zone_name> \ --set aws.acm_certificate="<certificate_arn>" \ --set persistence.enabled=true \ --set platform.tls.enabled=true \ --set mzonline.ssl.enabled=false \ --set ingress-nginx-v4.enabled=true \ --set postgres.db=mz \ --set platform.db.type=postgresql \ --set postgres.adminUsername=<db_user> \ --set postgres.adminPassword="<encrypted_admin_password>" \ --set postgres.host="<db_endpoint>" \ --set-file licenseKey=<licenseKey_file> \ --set debug.script.enabled=true \ --namespace <namespace>

   
   

4. Verify the installation.

   Code Block

Accessing the Environment

Basic examples of how to define the User Interfaces below. For a more comprehensive guide, see: Starting and Managing Desktop (3.0). 

Web Desktop: https://desktop.<domain>/

Web interface: https://mzonline.<domain>/

Platform: https://platform.<domain>:<mz.webserver.port>/

Connect to Desktop

How you connect to the Desktop client depends on if you want to use Desktop in Browser or the Desktop Launcher. Refer to the relevant section below. 

Web Desktop

Example. Enter the URL in a web browser:

# Define connection type "desktop." before the <domain>, as indicated below:

https://desktop.mz-eks.tafdr.net/auth

Desktop Launcher

To deploy the Desktop Launcher, you need to do the following steps:

1. Prerequisite: Download and install java 11 on the PC that you will use the Desktop on. Both JRE and JDK work.
   
   

2. Download the  Desktop Launcher from https://platform.<cluster node>:<mz.webserver.port>/launch/desktop. The port is by default 9000.

   Info
   title Example - Desktop Launcher URL
   Code Block Example. Enter the URL in a web browser: # Define connection type "platform." before the <domain>, as indicated below: https://platform.mz-eks.tafdr.net:9000/launch/desktop/

   
   

3. To install the Desktop Launcher, for Windows, download the exe file and double-click to install it. Alternatively download the OS independent  jar file and use java -jar to install it.

   Info
   title Example - Desktop Launcher via java -jar
   Code Block $ java -jar standard standard-mzx-launcher-1.1.4.jar

   
   

4. When you add an instance in the Desktop Launcher, set the Port to 9000. Host should begin with "platform." before the <domain>.
   
   
   
   

Connect to the Web Interface

Example. Enter the URL in a web browser:

# Define connection type "mzonline." before the <domain>, as indicated below:

https://mzonline.mz-eks.tafdr.net/

Define Configurations on the Installation

The Installation guide is now complete. To get a system ready for production or testing purposes, you will need to define Configurations and ECs, there are three different types as described below:

• Deploy real-time configurations through UI
  EC Deployment Web Interface(3.0)
  There are many examples available in the documentation.
  
  
• Deploy batch configurations through UI
  EC Deployment Web Interface(3.0)
  There are many examples available in the documentation.
  
  
• Deploy solutions through CI/CD pipelines
  Use the  Continuous Integration and Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline to automate building, testing, and deployment of use- and test cases.
  For more information, see: Continuous Integration and Deployment(3.0).
