Step 2: Get the Installer

Download flexdeployinstaller.zip and get it to the FlexDeploy server. You can wget it there directly if you have Internet access, or transfer the file from another machine.

Code Block
wget -O flexdeployinstaller.zip https://flexagon.com/downloads/flexdeployinstaller

If you don’t have wget, and must use curl, use the -L argument like:

Code Block
curl -L --max-redirs 5 https://flexagon.com/downloads/flexdeployinstaller --output flexdeployinstaller.zip

Once downloaded, select a directory (ex. /u01 or /u02) to unzip the flexdeployinstaller.zip.

Change directory to your selected directory and unzip the flexdeployinstaller.zip download.  If this isn't the first time unzipping the installer, select [A]ll on the replacement question.

Code Block
languagebash
cd <FLEXDEPLOY_INSTALLER_HOME>
unzip <path to flexdeployinstaller download>/flexdeployinstaller_X.X.X.zip

From the FLEXDEPLOY_INSTALLER_HOME directory, change directory to flexdeployinstaller_X.X.X to provide execution permission to the script.

Make sure the user that will run FlexDeploy has access to run the script. That user should execute the script.

Code Block
languagebash
cd flexdeployinstaller_X.X.X
chmod +x flexdeployinstaller.sh

...

If your FlexDeploy VM doesn't have access to the Internet, the FlexDeploy software can be downloaded from the Flexagon Support Site and the downloaded zip file must be saved to FLEXDEPLOY_INSTALLER_HOME/downloads/software (don't unzip).

Code Block
languagebash
cp /path to FlexDeploy software download/Tomcat_Complete-*.zip ${FLEXDEPLOY_INSTALLER_HOME}/flexdeployinstaller/downloads/software

Step 4.2: Influx database (conditional)

If you are installing/upgrading FlexDeploy with version 6.0+ and your FlexDeploy VM has access to the Internet, the flexdeployinstaller.sh will pull the required version of the software and client from the influx data website.

If you are installing/upgrading FlexDeploy with version 6.0+ and your FlexDeploy VM doesn't have access to the Internet, the software and the client must be downloaded from the influx data website using the embedded links.  The 2 downloaded gzip files must be saved to FLEXDEPLOY_INSTALLER_HOME/downloads/influxdb (don't extract them). This only needs to be downloaded once.

Code Block
languagebash
cp /path to influx database download/influxdb2*tar.gz ${FLEXDEPLOY_INSTALLER_HOME}/flexdeployinstaller/downloads/influxdb

...

Finally, we can then attempt the upgrade again through the installer by following the instructions.
