Installing Teracloud® Streams by using the interactive console method

Use this procedure to install Teracloud® Streams by using the interactive console method.

Before you begin

Ensure that you satisfy the requirements in the Preinstallation roadmap.

Tip: If you reinstall your current release of Teracloud® Streams, you do not need to back up your user data because the installation location and the user data are in different locations.

Procedure

  1. To extract the contents of the Teracloud® Streams installation package, enter the following command:
      tar -zxvf product-installation-package-name.tar.gz
    The tar command creates the StreamsInstallFiles directory, that contains the self-extracting binary file (StreamsSetup.bin) and other installation files.
  2. To start the installation, run the Teracloud® Streams self-extracting binary file by entering the following commands: 
      cd product-installation-package-directory/StreamsInstallFiles
  ./StreamsSetup.bin -i console
    Tips:
    • When you are instructed to enter a response, enter the response and then press Enter.
    • To change your response on a previous step, enter back.
    • To cancel the installation at any time, enter quit.
  3. Select the Teracloud® Streams edition that you are installing, and then press Enter.
  4. Review the information on the Introduction page, and then press Enter.
  5. On the License Agreement page:
    • To continue viewing the license agreement, press Enter.
    • To accept the license agreement, enter 1.
    • To decline the license agreement, enter 2.
    • To print the license agreement, enter 3.
    • To return to the previous license agreement page, enter 99.
    Important: You must accept the license agreement to continue the installation.

    After you accept the license agreement, the installation starts.

  6. The installation program checks your system configuration for any incompatibilities with Teracloud® Streams.
    Important:
    • If an incompatibility is found, the installation program displays an error or warning message:
      • If an error is displayed, you cannot continue the installation until the error is fixed. For example, if you try to install 64-bit Teracloud® Streams on a 32-bit system, the installation cannot continue.
      • If a warning is displayed, you can continue or cancel the installation. If you continue, the installation completes successfully, but the incompatibilities must be corrected before you use Teracloud® Streams.
    • If any required RPM dependencies are not met, the installation program displays this information. Information about all required RPMs and their status is logged in the summary log.
      If any required RPM dependencies are not met, you have the following options:
      • Install or update the required RPM dependencies in another terminal window, select the installation program refresh option to verify that the required dependencies are now met, and then continue the installation.
      • Continue the installation without installing or updating the required RPM dependencies. You can complete the installation without correcting any RPM dependencies, but you must correct any issues before you use Teracloud® Streams.
      • Cancel and exit the installation.
  7. If you are running the installation program as a root user, the program prompts you to specify the user and group that will own the installed files. The root user cannot own the installed files.

    If you are running the installation program as a non-root user, the Specify File Owner page is not displayed because you are the owner of the Teracloud® Streams installation.

  8. On the Installation Directory page, press Enter to accept the default root installation directory or enter the absolute path of another root directory.
    Important: The installation directory cannot contain spaces or the following characters: ' " ` $ | & ? * < > \. If you include spaces or non-supported characters, the installation program displays an error message and requires you to enter a valid directory or cancel the installation.
  9. The installation program displays the Preinstallation Summary page for your review before starting the installation. After reviewing this information, press Enter to continue.
  10. When you are prompted to confirm the installation directory, press Enter to start the installation.
    The last line of the Installing message shows the status of the installation. When the installation completes, the Installation Complete page is displayed.
  11. If the Installation Complete page indicates that the installation program detected errors or warnings, review the installation summary log file and resolve any issues. This log file is in the product-installation-root-directory/7.2.0.0/logs directory.
