3.7 Software Installation

The final step in the Platform Container installation must be executed as the mzadmin UNIX user. The following command session will setup the directory structure and install all the software. The release content directory is the working directory for the installation.

To install the software:

1. Enter the extracted directory:
   
   $ cd ./<staging directory>/<release content directory>
 

2. Execute the installation:
   
   $ ./setup.sh install

   Hint!

   The setup script verifies that the target filesystem has at least 5GB of free space. If the validation fails you will be prompted to continue or not. Choosing not to continue aborts the installation. You can disable this validation by adding a flag to the setup script.

   $ ./setup.sh install -DsilentMode=y

   The Platform will be automatically started and shut down during the installation.

   Note!

    If the Platform failed to start, check the platform.log file in $MZ_HOME/log for details.

3. Start the Platform:

   $ mzsh startup platform        

The installation of the Platform Container is now completed.
