During the installation of Connect, individual Linux components may need to be installed. Therefore, before starting the installation process, make sure that there are no reasons not to install these components.

Also, check the prepare_os function in the installation script to make sure that it does not perform any unwanted configuration operations.

...

Log in to the desired system with a user with administrator privileges and copy the installation files (GalileoGroup.Connect.*.tar.gz / install-connect.sh) to a directory. Use the cd command to change to this directory, then start the installation with the following command line:

Code Block
. ./install-connctconnect.sh

Now follow the instructions of the script to perform the installation. The steps required for this depend on the Linux distribution, the Connect components to be installed, and the packages already present. The rough sequence is as follows:

  1. You will be prompted (by sudo) to enter your password in order to perform administrative tasks.

  2. You are prompted to enter the user under whose ID Connect is to be installed. If this user does not exist, it will be created. It is possible to enter your own user id, but this procedure is not recommended for productive environments.

  3. The archives to be installed are analyzed. If they do not contain the .NET Framework, you will be asked to enter the installation location of the .NET Framework to be used. You also have the option of installing your own dedicated .NET Framework, but note that this should also be kept up to date regarding security patches.

  4. The archives to be installed are installed.

  5. Any shell scripts required for administration are now generated.

  6. The initial configuration is generated (if not already available).

  7. Finally, a quick start guide for starting and stopping Connect using the scripts generated during installation is displayed.

Uninstall

The following steps are necessary for complete uninstallation:

  1. Delete the connect directory in the home directory of the connect user

  2. Delete the .dotnet directory in the home directory of the Connect user (if it exists)

  3. Delete the Connect user if it is no longer needed
