Applicare installation for Linux

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS FOR APPLICARE CONTROLLER

* Red Hat Linux 6.x or higher - RHEL 8 preferred

Copy the downloaded installer to the machine in which we want to install Applicare.

Open putty and cd into the directory in which the installer is available. Execute the command java -jar AP_XXX.jar to start the installation.

Press 1 and enter to continue the installation.

Then, Read and accept the license agreement and press 1 and enter to accept the license.

Put the directory to install applicare and click enter (we call this directory as APPLICARE_HOME).

Press o then  enter to The target directory will be created. 

Press 1 then enter to continue installation.

Enter the IP of the machine (Same machine in which we are installing applicare) and enter.

choose any port as you prefer and enter.

Press 1 then enter to continue installation.

In the next, choose any database you prefer and press 1 then enter to continue installation.

We suggest Derby database for POC purpose. For production environments and environments with huge load we recommended to use Mysql or Oracle.

In the next screen Installation Packages, press 1 then enter to continue installation.

installation completed then the automatic installation script screen will appear in  type N and press enter. 

Once install is complete grant execute permissions by executing the following command from Applicare's parent directory. In the example above we installed Applicare in /usr/Applicare and hence run this command from /usr directory 

chmod -R 777 Applicare/*.      

Java uses a file java.policy in JRE_HOME/lib/security where port bind permissions need to be granted.  By default ports used by Applicare, its database and others are not open in JAVA. Edit this file and add the grants for those port bindings (default port used for Derby is 1527 and 8880 for Applicare but use the one you configured during installation)

grant 
{ 
permission java.net.SocketPermission "localhost:1527", "listen,resolve"; 
permission java.net.SocketPermission "localhost:8880", "listen,resolve"; 
};
