Install on a Headless Environment

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

IMPORTANT: PrizmDoc requires a clean installation when migrating from a version earlier than v12.0. You must first uninstall any previous versions of PrizmDoc and reboot your system. Only then should you install PrizmDoc v12.0 or later. Make sure you back up your configuration files before uninstalling any previous versions of PrizmDoc. Once you have installed v12.0, you do not need to uninstall if you want to migrate to v12.1 or later.

NOTE: If you have an updated license, you must re-start PAS and PrizmDoc Server in order to use the new license.

• Verify the System's Locale
• Step 1 - Download PrizmDoc
• Step 2 - Unpack & Install the Downloaded Archive
• Step 3 - Configure
• Step 4 - Verify that the Installation was Successful

Make sure you log in as root to the machine. All command lines preceded by the '>' sign are the example output of that command, where applicable.

Verify the System's Locale

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

   Example

    locale
   
   

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

   Example

    export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
    sudo localedef -v -c -i en_US -f UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8
   
   

Step 1 - Download PrizmDoc

IMPORTANT: Before downloading PrizmDoc, be aware that 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 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:

   NOTES:

   1. 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 also need to specify the hot fix number, for example, "11.0.1".

   2. Instructions assume that 'wget' has already been installed on the server OS.

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

      Example

      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

      wget http://products.accusoft.com/PrizmDoc/<version>/prizmdoc_server_<version>.RHEL7.tar.gz
      
      

      Ubuntu Linux Distributions

      Server Example

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

      Generic .tar.gz Distribution

      Server Example

      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, CentOS, and Older Linux Distributions

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

   Viewer Example

    tar -xzvf prizmdoc_client_*.tar.gz
    cd prizmdoc_client_*
    yum install --nogpgcheck *.rpm
   
   

   Server Example

    tar -xzvf prizmdoc_server_*.tar.gz
    cd prizmdoc_server_*
    yum install --nogpgcheck *.rpm
   
   

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

   Example

    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
   
   

   Ubuntu Linux Distributions

   The following example is for Ubuntu Linux distributions:

   Viewer Example

    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 commands
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get -f install
   
   

   Server Example

    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 commands
    sudo apt-get update
    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

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

   Server Example

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

3. Add symbolic links to the fonts directory and update system fonts cache to enable the usage of installed fonts by PrizmDoc services.

   Server Example

    ln -s /usr/share/prizm/modules/poppler/fonts/accusoft_prizm_fonts.conf
    /etc/fonts/conf.d/99-accusoft_prizm_fonts.conf fc-cache -f
   
   

Step 3 - Configure

1. Run the following commands to initiate setup:

   Example

    cd /usr/share/prizm
    sudo ./setup.sh
   
   

   The setup script will now invoke a text-based wizard for licensing:

   NOTE: To configure PrizmDoc for evaluation run the following command:

   Example

    ./setup.sh eval
   
   

   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

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

Step 4 - Verify that the Installation was Successful

1. 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.
