How to Run Apps Installer (Linux)

I just got Chronicall installed, but now I need to install my Recording Library and/or Multimedia service. How do I accomplish that?

Note

See Important Notes for 4.0 and 4.2.10 at the bottom of this page.

Steps

  1. Start off by visiting our downloads page at ximasoftware.com/downloads.

    • Here we ask for your Xima Serial Key, so have that ready.
  2. Navigate to the most recent build of Chronicall.

    1. Right-click on the Apps option of the build that suits your needs (Debian or RPM) and select Copy link address.

      • Make sure it matches up with the build you're using. In our example, we'll be using the 64-bit installer.
    2. Paste that copied link into a note pad.

  3. Navigate to a directory where you'd like to place the Chronicall installers. This can be a directory made specifically for this purpose so you can delete the files once the task is done.

    1. Once there, type the following command:

      wget -O '(Name of your choice).tar.gz' 'https://(rest of the link that was copied from Chronicall)'
    2. After executing, you should see output similar to this:

  4. Next, run the following command to extract the archive:

    tar -xzf (Name we specified earlier).tar.gz
  5. After this is done and our files are inflated, we can now navigate to the newly created directory hosting our installer.

  6. Type in the following command:

    • ./install.sh -Applicable_Service_Name (reference items below) -chron_ip (IP Address of Hosting Chronicall Server) -chron_port (typically 9080)

    • Example of a full install of everything:

      -chron_ip 10.0.0.118 -chron_port 9080 -realtime_node -realtime_ip 10.0.0.112 -realtime_reg_port 9092 -realtime_port 9082 -recording_library -rec_sys_id 1 -datagrid_node -multimedia_server
  7. Executing this should be the last and final step.

Important Note for 4.0 and Above

When installing new apps using Chronicall 4.0 and above, you'll need to use the -chron_docbase option with the full URL instead of -chron_port and -chron_ip.

For example:

./install.sh -multimedia_server -chron_docbase http://192.168.254.22:9080

Important Note for 4.2.10 and Above

When installing new apps using Chronicall 4.2.10 and above, you'll need to use -admin_user and -admin_password with the Administrator credentials you use to log into Chronicall/ACR.

For example:

./install.sh -multimedia_server -admin_user Administrator -admin_password password -chron_docbase http://192.168.254.22:9080

Note

For recording library apps, you'll still use -rec_sys_id 1 to identify which recording library you're installing.
