The FlexDeploy distribution contains the following components:
...
In this example, JAVA_HOME is /u01/java/jdk1.8.0_281 but it can be anything you want. If default java is not version 8, then we will need to adjust for it during Step 7 later.
...
Step 2. Prepare software
FlexDeploy can be downloaded from the Flexagon Support Site. You will download specific version of FlexDeploy, download file is named Tomcat_Complete-X.X.X.X.zip, where X.X.X.X represents four digit version number.
Extract the zip file in the desired location (referred to as "FLEXDEPLOY_HOME" in this document). See example below, where zip was extracted in /u01/flexdeploy folder.

unzip <ojdbc8 download locaton>/ojdbc8-full.zip cd <FLEXDEPLOY$FLEXDEPLOY_HOME>HOME/apache-tomcat-flexdeploy/lib rm ojdbc*.jar cd .. mkdir -p libext cd libext cp <jdbc driver extract location>/ojdbc-full/*.jar . |

Step 9. Adjust for non-default server side directories
...

tar xf <tar file directory>/influxdb2-2.2.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz --strip-components 1 -C <FLEXDEPLOY$FLEXDEPLOY_HOME>HOME/influxdb tar xf <tar file directory>/influxdb2-client-2.2.1-linux-amd64.tar.gz --strip-components 1 -C <FLEXDEPLOY$FLEXDEPLOY_HOME>HOME/influxdb |
Adjust the influx database configuration file. <FLEXDEPLOY_HOME>/influxdb/config/config.yaml

cd <FLEXDEPLOY$FLEXDEPLOY_HOME>HOME mkdir -p application/vsm cd influxdb/config vi config.yaml |
...

cd <FLEXDEPLOY%FLEXDEPLOY_HOME>HOME% mkdir application\vsm cd influxdb\config edit config.yaml |
Change the following locations: You must put absolute path as no environment variables are allowed in this file.
