- Planning to install Teracloud® Streams
  To plan for installing Teracloud® Streams, start by reviewing the information in the planning roadmap.
  - Preparing to install Teracloud® Streams
    Use the information in this topic to plan and prepare for your Teracloud® Streams installation. The plan that you create for your environment determines your tasks and choices throughout the installation process.
  - Considerations for environments with multiple resources
    Review these options and requirements for Teracloud® Streams environments before you install the product.
  - Hardware requirements
    Before you install Teracloud® Streams, ensure that the target system satisfies the minimum hardware requirements.
  - Software requirements
    Before you install Teracloud® Streams, run the dependency checker script to verify that the target system satisfies the product software requirements.
    - Operating system requirements for Teracloud® Streams
      Teracloud® Streams supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux™ (RHEL).
    - Required RPMs for Teracloud® Streams
      To operate correctly, Teracloud® Streams requires a set of prerequisite RPMs.
      - RPM minimum versions and availability
        For most RPMs, the default operating system version meets the Teracloud® Streams requirements. The RPMs that are required for Teracloud Streams are available in the operating system installation package.
      - Installing RPMs for Teracloud® Streams
        You can install the required RPMs for Teracloud® Streams by using the dnf install command that is included with Red Hat Enterprise Linux™ (RHEL).
        Installing RPMs in the operating system installation package
        Use this procedure to install the RPMs that are included in the RHEL installation package.
    - Java requirements, options, and settings
      Ensure that you use a Java™ development kit that is supported by Teracloud® Streams. If Java memory issues occur, Teracloud Streams provides configuration properties that you can use to allocate more memory for the Java environment.
    - Dependency checker script
      The dependency checker script verifies that your system satisfies the operating system, RPM, and other software requirements for Teracloud® Streams.
  - Domain controller service options
    A domain controller service runs on every resource in a Teracloud® Streams domain and manages all of the other services on that resource. You can set up the domain controller service as a registered Linux™ system service or an unregistered service.
  - Firewall configuration guidelines
    If firewall usage is required, the preferred configuration is to set up a firewall at the perimeter of the Teracloud® Streams cluster to restrict network access to resources in the cluster but not communication between the resources. When any communication passes through a firewall, latency is introduced. These guidelines apply to clients that are in the Teracloud Streams cluster as well as clients that are external to the cluster.
  - Linux ulimit configuration guidelines
    The default Linux™ user limit (ulimit) values might be too small for some Teracloud® Streams environments. Use these guidelines to ensure that your ulimit settings are sufficient for Teracloud Streams.
  - Name resolution requirements for resources
    All resources must satisfy the product network configuration requirements or Teracloud® Streams fails to start on the resource.
- Installing the Teracloud® Streams product
  Use these procedures to install Teracloud® Streams Version 7.2.
- Upgrading Teracloud® Streams
  Use these procedures to install a new version of Teracloud® Streams when a previous version of the product is already installed, or to update a Version 7.2 Non-Production Edition license.
- Uninstalling Teracloud® Streams
  Use this procedure to remove the Teracloud® Streams product from your system.
Configuring

Installing RPMs in the operating system installation package

Use this procedure to install the RPMs that are included in the RHEL installation package.

Procedure

Create a repository for the RPMs that are available in the operating system package.
- To create a yum repository on a RHEL system, create a .repo file in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory.
  For example, if you create a repository for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux™ installation DVD, you might name your file RedHatDVD.repo. The following example shows the contents of a sample .repo file for the RHEL operating system.
```
  [rhdvd]
  enabled=1
  name=Red Hat Installation DVD
  baseurl=file:///media/RHEL_8.10%20x86_64%20DVD/Server/
  gpgcheck=1
```
  Important: The baseurl value must point to the location of the Server subdirectory of the operating system installation DVD directory. Ensure that you use the value %20 for any spaces in the file name.
To install the required RPMs, enter the following command:
```
  command-name install rpm-name
```
where command-name is dnf for RHEL. For rpm-name, enter only the name of the RPM. Do not enter the RPM file name or add the RPM version. You can include multiple RPM names on one line separated by a space.
The following example shows the command for installing the gcc-c++ RPM on a RHEL system:
```
  dnf install gcc-c++
```
