Prerequisites:
- Before installing Spectrum Technology Platform,
be sure to read the release notes. The release notes contains important
compatibility information as well as release-specific installation notes.
- Apply all the latest updates available for your operating
system, especially those that resolve issues with Java.
-
Download Spectrum Technology Platform using the download instructions
contained in your welcome email or the release announcement email.
-
Extract the downloaded file to a temporary location on the server where you
want to install Spectrum Technology Platform.
-
Change the directory to the location of install.sh.
-
Be sure you have permission to run the files by typing the following
command:
chmod a+x install.sh
-
Run install.sh.
-
Start the server.
Note: If you are installing a cluster, you do not need to start the
server.
-
Change the working directory to the bin directory
of where Spectrum Technology Platform is installed.
For example:
cd /usr/g1/tst/server/bin
-
Source the setup file.
-
Start the Spectrum Technology Platform server.
-
To start Spectrum Technology Platform in the background,
type the following command:
./server.start
-
To start Spectrum Technology Platform in the foreground,
type the following command:
./server.start console
-
To ensure that Spectrum Technology Platform has started, open the log file
SpectrumDirectory/server/logs/spectrum-server.log and look for this
message:

Important: Do not attempt to stop the server until after it has
