Getting Started with PCC > Installation > Linux > Installation on a Headless Environment |
Use the following steps to install PCC in a Linux headless environment:
The '#' sign in command examples denotes running the command as the root user. All command lines preceded by the '>' sign are the example output of that command, where applicable.
Before you download PCC, note that packages are only available for 64-bit systems. |
Before downloading PCC, you will need to purchase a license key or request a Trial Evaluation by filling out the following form: www.accusoft.com/products/prizm-content-connect-pcc/get-self-hosted/.
Once you have purchased a license key or filled out the form for a Trial Evaluation, you can download PCC by:
OR
Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS, and Older Linux Distributions
Example Copy Codewget http://products.accusoft.com/PCC/<version>/prizmcc_<version>.x86_64.rpm.tar.gz
Debian and Ubuntu Linux Distributions
Example Copy Codewget http://products.accusoft.com/PCC/<version>/prizmcc_<version>.amd64.deb.tar.gz
Generic .tar.gz Distribution
Example Copy Codewget http://products.accusoft.com/PCC/<version>/prizmcc_<version>.x86_64.tar.gz
For license, fill out the form at http://www.accusoft.com/products/prizm-content-connect-pcc/get-self-hosted/ or http://www.accusoft.com/contact/.
Open a command line and change to the location where you downloaded the tarball. Use the following command line examples appropriate for your distribution to:
The following example is for Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS, and older Linux distributions:
Example |
Copy Code
|
---|---|
# tar –xzvf prizmcc_<version>_rpm.tar.gz # cd prizmcc_<version>_rpm # yum install –nogpgcheck *.rpm |
Note: For CentOS 5.x, the following additional dependencies must be installed prior to PCC RPM installation:
|
The following example is for Debian (Ubuntu) Linux distributions:
Example |
Copy Code
|
---|---|
# tar –xzvf prizmcc_<version>_deb.tar.gz
# cd prizmcc_<version>_deb
# sudo dpkg –i *.deb
# sudo apt-get –f install
|
We also provide a generic .tar.gz package. You will need to install the dependencies described in the Requirements section. Once the dependencies are installed, you can install the .tar.gz with the following commands as root:
Example |
Copy Code
|
---|---|
# tar -xzvf prizm-contentconnect*.tar.gz # tar -xzvf prizm-services*.tar.gz # cp -R prizm /usr/share/ |
Example Copy Code # cd /usr/share/prizm # sh ./setup.sh
The setup script will now invoke a text-based wizard for licensing:
To install a license at the end of the evaluation period, (for example, a deployment license), run the following command:
If you already have a license for PCC, you can use one of the other licensing options, detailed in the Command Line Mode Licensing section of the help.
Example Copy Code# ./setup.sh eval get youremail@example.com
Example Copy Code # cat ./conf/proxyserver_jar.properties | grep license_key > license_key=<long string>
However, if you have an error in the log stating that it cannot connect to the Office converter Worker-1 instance, then you must continue to the 'Step 4 - Running an X Virtual Framebuffer' section below.
A full version of the X11 server is not required to run PCC. However, the minimum requirement is the X Virtual Framebuffer Server, which you can install and run separately from an entire X11 instance.
Debian/Ubuntu
Example Copy Code# sudo apt-get install xvfb
Red Hat / CentOS
Example Copy Code # yum install xorg-x11-server-Xvfb
Example Copy Code# Xvfb :20 >/dev/null 2>&1 & # export DISPLAY=:20
Example Copy Code # /usr/share/prizm/scripts/pccis.sh startRequired:
The X Virtual Framebuffer Server must be running any time that the Prizm service is running.
Suggested:
It may be appropriate to create a script that will start the Xvfb service and Prizm Services (the 3 lines above) to execute whenever the machine is restarted.
If you aren't running CentOS 5.x, you can skip to Step 6 below. |
PCC will not work on a CentOS 5.x system with the default LibreOffice. For this purpose you need to download and install LibreOffice from libreoffice.org as described below:
LibreOffice Desktop Integration for Linux is not needed; you do not need to complete those steps.
The LibreOffice installation might fail if you have LibreOffice or any other application already listening on any of the following ports: 18580, 18584, 18585, 18586, 18590, 18591, 18592, 18593, 18680.
By default, Prizm Content Connect installs the proxy service on port 18680 and uses 3 of the following ports for conversion purposes: 18580, 18584, 18585, 18586, 18591, 18592, 18593. You can add more ports as your traffic increases.
Example Copy CodeOffice Document converter installation base directory #odc_installation=/usr/share/prizm/libreoffice odc_installation=/opt/libreoffice4.3
By default this value is:
Example CS Copy Code"officeInstallPath":"../libreoffice/program" or
Example Copy Code "officeInstallPath":"/usr/share/prizm/libreoffice/program"Example of fixed path:
Example Copy Code "officeInstallPath":"/opt/libreoffice4.4/program"
It may take several minutes for the Services to become completely healthy. The page will auto-refresh as the Services come online.
By default /usr/share/prizm/nginx/nginx.conf contains the following limitation:
/usr/share/prizm/nginx/nginx.conf http {client_max_body_size 100m; ... }
which limits maximum document file size to 100Mb, and so nginx will return HTTP-500 when larger files are uploaded to the service.
If you are dealing with larger files it will necessary to change "client_max_body_size" option to a more appropriate value.
