Installation Instructions

Adjust for Windows path if you are installing on Windows platform.

Step 1. Ensure Java 21 or 17 is installed on the server.

In this example, JAVA_HOME is /u01/java/jdk21 but it can be any path you want.


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.

We recommend use of folder structure without any space in name.

cd /u01 mkdir -p flexdeploy cd flexdeploy unzip <location of distribution zip>/Tomcat_Complete-X.X.X.X.zip

Here is how it will look like after unzip.
