To install the PrizmDoc Viewing Client using an Accusoft-hosted PrizmDoc Server, follow the steps provided in this section:

Some steps are specific to a particular Linux distribution; these steps will be labeled as being specific to one of the following:

The hash sign (#) is used to represent the command prompt. Do not include it when entering the commands.

Make sure you log in as root to the machine.

Step 1 - Download the PrizmDoc Client Linux Distribution

Packages are only available for 64-bit systems.

Before downloading PrizmDoc, you will need to purchase a license key or request a Trial Evaluation by filling out the appropriate form at www.accusoft.com.

Once you have filled out the form for a Trial Evaluation, you can download PrizmDoc by doing one of the following:

Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS, and Older Linux Distributions

Example
Copy Code 
wget http://products.accusoft.com/PrizmDoc/11.0/prizmdoc_client_full_.x86_64.rpm.tar.gz

Debian and Ubuntu Linux Distributions

Example
Copy Code 
wget http://products.accusoft.com/PrizmDoc/11.0/prizmdoc_full_.amd64.deb.tar.gz

Generic .tar.gz Distribution

Example
Copy Code 
wget http://products.accusoft.com/PrizmDoc/11.0/prizmdoc_full_v.x86_64.tar.gz

Step 2 - Unpack & Install the Downloaded Archive

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:

  1. Decompress and unpack the downloaded file. After you have unpacked the archive, the contents will have been decompressed into a directory named prizmdocclient_<version>_rpm(or _deb).  
  2. Change to the unpacked directory and install the packages.
    Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS, and Older Linux Distributions
    Copy Code

    # tar –xzvf prizmdocclient_<version>_rpm.tar.gz

    # cd prizmdocclient<version>_rpm

    # yum install --nogpgcheck *.rpm
    Debian (Ubuntu) Linux Distributions
    Copy Code

    # tar –xzvf prizmdocclient_<version>_deb.tar.gz

    # cd prizmdocclient_<version>_deb

    # sudo dpkg --force-depends –i *.deb

    dpkg does not resolve dependencies automatically, so please ignore possible errors if you did not install required dependencies yet, and invoke the next command:

    Debian (Ubuntu) Linux Distributions
    Copy Code

    # sudo apt-get –f install

    We also provide a generic .tar.gz package. Install the .tar.gz with the following commands as root:

    Generic .tar.gz Distribution
    Copy Code

    # tar -xzvf prizmdocclient_<version>.tar.gz
    # cd prizmdocclient_<version>
    # tar -xzvf prizm-contentconnect*.tar.gz
    # tar -xzvf prizm-pas*.tar.gz
    # cp -R prizm /usr/share/

Step 3 - Update PrizmDoc Application Services Configuration

  1. After installation, locate the PrizmDoc Application Services config file. Assuming the standard install location, this is /usr/share/prizm/pas/pcc.nix.yml.
  2. Edit the file and specify the following values:
    • pccServer.hostName: "api.accusoft.com"
    • pccServer.port: 443
    • pccServer.scheme: "https"
  3. Set pccServer.apiKey to your API key. This key will have been emailed to you as part of the registration process for downloading the installer. For more information on your PrizmDoc API key, refer to the topic, How to Get an Evaluation License.
  4. Restart PrizmDoc Application Services for the changes to take effect. See Starting & Stopping Application Services for instructions.
  5. See Checking Your Connection to Accusoft Services for instructions on verifying that your installation of the PrizmDoc Viewing Client is able to contact the back-end services.

Working with Sample Code

Sample code is included to demonstrate how PrizmDoc can be integrated into your Content Management solution. Sample applications using different languages are packaged with the product to demonstrate using a particular language. All of the product samples are located in the Samples folder within the installation directory. For more information, refer to the Code Samples topic.
