Use the following steps to install PrizmDoc in a Linux headless environment:

Verify the System's Locale

1. To ensure your system's locale is specified, run the command:

Example	Copy Code
locale

2. If the LC_ALL entry is not set, you must specify it with the following:

Example	Copy Code
export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" sudo locale-gen

Step 1 - Download PrizmDoc

Before downloading PrizmDoc, 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 PrizmDoc by:

1. Following the link provided in the response email and selecting the desired Linux Distribution.

OR

2. Downloading directly to the Linux server using the 'wget' command for the specific distribution as shown below:

You must substitute the version of the package you are using in the code examples below. For example, if you are using v11.0, then specify "11.0" instead of "<version>". If the version is a hot fix, you will need to also specify the hot fix number, for example, "11.0.1".

   

Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS (prior to v7) and Similar Older Linux Distributions

Example	Copy Code
wget http://products.accusoft.com/PrizmDoc/<version>/prizmdoc_server_<version>.x86_64.rpm.tar.gz

Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS v7 (and later)

Example	Copy Code
wget http://products.accusoft.com/PrizmDoc/<version>/prizmdoc_server_<version>.RHEL7.x86_64.rpm.tar.gz

Debian and Ubuntu Linux Distributions

Server Example	Copy Code
wget http://products.accusoft.com/PrizmDoc/<version>/prizmdoc_server_<version>.amd64.deb.tar.gz

Generic .tar.gz Distribution

Server Example	Copy Code
wget http://products.accusoft.com/PrizmDoc/<version>/prizmdoc_server_<version>.x86_64.tar.gz

For license questions, fill out the form at http://www.accusoft.com/contact/. 

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 directories named: prizmdoc_client_<version>.<arch>[.rpm|.deb] and prizmdoc_server_<version>.<arch>[.rpm|.deb]. 
2. Change to the unpacked directory and install the packages.

Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS, and Older Linux Distributions

The following example is for Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS, and older Linux distributions:

Viewer Example	Copy Code
tar -xzvf prizmdoc_client_*.rpm.tar.gz cd prizmdoc_client_*.rpm yum install -nogpgcheck *.rpm

Server Example	Copy Code
tar -xzvf prizmdoc_server_*.rpm.tar.gz cd prizmdoc_server_*.rpm yum install -nogpgcheck *.rpm

Note: For CentOS 5.x, the following additional dependencies must be installed prior to PrizmDoc RPM installation:

• openjpeg-libs-1.3-7.el5.x86_64.rpm

• pixman-0.22.0-2.2.el5_10.x86_64.rpm

The Prizm installer does not install them automatically. Please manually download these packages and then install them using --nogpgcheck flag as follows:

Example	Copy Code
yum install --nogpgcheck ./openjpeg-libs-1.3-7.el5.x86_64.rpm yum install --nogpgcheck ./pixman-0.22.0-2.2.el5_10.x86_64.rpm

Debian (Ubuntu) Linux Distributions

The following example is for Debian (Ubuntu) Linux distributions:

Viewer Example	Copy Code
tar -xzvf prizmdoc_client_*.deb.tar.gz cd prizmdoc_client_*.deb sudo dpkg -i *.deb # 'dpkg' does not resolve dependencies automatically, so please ignore possible errors, if you did not install required dependencies yet, and invoke next command sudo apt-get -f install

Server Example	Copy Code
tar -xzvf prizmdoc_server_*.deb.tar.gz cd prizmdoc_server_*.deb sudo dpkg -i *.deb # 'dpkg' does not resolve dependencies automatically, so please ignore possible errors, if you did not install required dependencies yet, and invoke next command sudo apt-get -f install

Generic .tar.gz Distribution

We also provide a generic .tar.gz package. Please review the System Requirements and Supported Environments topic to ensure compatibility. You will also 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:

Viewer Example	Copy Code
tar -xzvf prizmdoc_client*.tar.gz cd prizmdoc_client_* ls prizm-*.tar.gz | xargs -n1 tar zxf cp -R prizm /usr/share/

Server Example	Copy Code
tar -xzvf prizmdoc_server*.tar.gz cd prizmdoc_server_* ls prizm-*.tar.gz | xargs -n1 tar zxf cp -R prizm /usr/share/

Step 3 - Setup

1. Run the following commands to initiate setup:

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:

Example	Copy Code
./setup.sh eval get youremail@example.com

If you already have a license for PrizmDoc, you can use one of the other licensing options, detailed in the Command Line Mode Licensing section of the help.

2.  To confirm the licensing has succeeded, run the following command, which will output your license key:   

Example	Copy Code
cat ./prizm-services-config.yml | grep license.key > license.key=<long string>

       

3. If PrizmDoc has started and no errors have been reported, then the installation process is complete.

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.

Step 4 - Running an X Virtual Framebuffer Server

A full version of the X11 server is not required to run PrizmDoc. However, the minimum requirement is the X Virtual Framebuffer Server, which you can install and run separately from an entire X11 instance.

1. To install the X Virtual Framebuffer Server, run the following command:

Debian/Ubuntu

Example	Copy Code
sudo apt-get install xvfb

   

Red Hat / CentOS

Example	Copy Code
yum install xorg-x11-server-Xvfb

2. Start the service by running the following command, and then export the instance to the DISPLAY environment variable expected by the PrizmDoc Server:

Example	Copy Code
Xvfb :20 >/dev/null 2>&1 & export DISPLAY=:20

3. Start PrizmDoc:

Example	Copy Code
/usr/share/prizm/scripts/pccis.sh start

Required:

The X Virtual Framebuffer Server must be running any time that the PrizmDoc Server is running.

Suggested:

It may be appropriate to create a script that will start the Xvfb service and PrizmDoc Server (the 3 lines above) to execute whenever the machine is restarted. 

Step 5 - Verify that the Installation was Successful   

1.    
2. Open the PrizmDoc Services Status Page as described in the Checking PrizmDoc Server Health topic and verify the PrizmDoc Services are running.

2. Your installation is now complete.
