Linux/Unix Installation
The following provides complete instructions on installing Cascade Server on a Machine running a Linux/Unix operating system.
Java Installation
Cascade Server requires Java version 1.5 (aka Java 5.0).
- To see if Java is already installed, open a terminal and type java -version. This will print the version information for the currently installed JVM.
If 1.5 is not already installed, install or upgrade to the Sun Java 1.5 JRE. Please follow the installation instructions available from Sun here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/install-linux.html#install.
- Set the JAVA_HOME system environment variable. To set the appropriate environment variables, first ensure you are logged in as the user Cascade Server will run under. Next, edit the appropriate "rc" file for your shell (.bashrc or .cshrc, for example) to set the following information in the user's environment:
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.5
export JAVA_HOME
Note: The path to the JAVA_HOME folder will vary depending on your operating system. You can type which java to determine its location.
After saving this file, open a new terminal and type echo $JAVA_HOME to verify that the directory was set for the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
Unpack Cascade Server
Unzip downloaded Cascade-Install-{VERSION}.zip in the directory you wish to install the program (please use the 'unzip' command line tool and not the 'gzip' tool). If you have not yet downloaded Cascade Server, please contact your account manager for access to the download site.
We recommend that you unzip the file to the /usr/java directory, which will create a new directory, /usr/java/cascade.
Now you will need to install and configure your database server. Continue to the database installation section.Topic Navigation
