Installation - Linux Server

If your server is a Linux machine, you should use the relevant command line version of the HansaWorld Enterprise application as your server application. If the machine itself has a graphical interface and is accessible, you can install this application following the procedure described in step 5 on the single-user page. If the machine does not have a graphical interface or you want to use the Terminal, follow these steps:
  1. Download the latest version of HansaWorld Enterprise that is correct for your platform and operating system (i.e. the Linux Command Line or Linux PPC Command Line version).

  2. Put the machine into "Terminal" mode using the Terminal icon in the Dock or Panel.

  3. Type the following, remembering that the Terminal environment on Linux is case-sensitive:
    mkdir /Applications/HansaWorld
    creates a new "HansaWorld" directory inside the "Applications" directory at the root level.

    cp /Users/username/Desktop/hw-install-release-server-linux.tgz /applications/hansaworld
    copies the installer file (named hw-install-release-server-linux.tgz in this example) from the desktop to the new "HansaWorld" directory.

    cd /Applications/HansaWorld/
    makes the "HansaWorld" directory the current directory.

    tar -xvzf hw-install-release-server-linux.tgz
    expands the hw-install-release-server-linux.tgz installer file. A new directory will be created in your "HansaWorld" directory. This new directory will be named "hansaworld-linux-release-server" (Linux Intel) or "hansaworld-linuxppc-release-server" (Linux PPC). This will contain the application and the necessary auxiliary files.

    rm -xvzf hw-install-release-server-linux.tgz
    deletes the installer file.
