Installing Teracloud® Streams by using the interactive GUI method

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

Before you begin

Ensure that you satisfy the requirements in the Preinstallation roadmap.

Important: An X Window System is required for the interactive GUI installation.
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
  3. Select the Teracloud® Streams edition that you are installing, and then click Next.
  4. Review the information on the Introduction page, and then click Next.
  5. Review the license agreement.
    • To continue the installation, click I accept the terms in the license agreement and click Next.
    • If you do not accept the license agreement, click Cancel to exit the installation program.
    Important: You must accept the license agreement to continue the installation.
  6. The installation program checks your system configuration for any incompatibilities with Teracloud® Streams and displays the results on the Software Dependencies page.
    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.
    • The installation program displays information about required RPMs and their status on your system. The program also logs this information in the installation 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.

    To save the dependency check results in a file, click Save result to file.

    To continue the installation, click Next.

  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, click Next 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, click Install to start the installation.
    The program displays the status of the installation.
  10. Review the following options on the Postinstallation Tasks page:
    • To open a browser window that displays the Release Notes® in HTML format, select View release notes.
    • To continue, click Next.

    The Release Notes are displayed in a browser window.

  11. Click Done to exit the installation program.
  12. If the installation program displayed warnings or errors during the installation, check the installation summary log file and resolve any issues before continuing. This log file is in the product-installation-root-directory/7.2.0.0/logs directory.
