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 and Install the Downloaded Archive
Step 3 - Configure Your License
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

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

Example
```
 locale
```

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 you download PrizmDoc, note that packages are only available for 64-bit systems.

Download PrizmDoc from the website by selecting the desired Linux Distribution.

OR
Download directly to the Linux server using the 'wget' command for the specific distribution as shown below:

NOTES:

You must substitute the version of the package you are using in the code examples below. For example, if you are using v13.8, then specify "13.8" instead of "<version>". If the version is a hot fix, you will also need to specify the hot fix number, for example, "13.8.1".

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

Example

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

Generic .tar.gz Distribution

Example

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

For license questions, please contact info@accusoft.com.

Step 2 - Unpack and 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:

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].

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/

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 Your License

If you have a paid license, configure your license (see Licensing for more information). If you are evaluating the product, you can skip this step.

Step 4 - Verify that the Installation was Successful

Start PrizmDoc Server:
```
 /usr/share/prizm/scripts/pccis.sh start
```
See Starting and Stopping PrizmDoc Server on Linux for more information.
Wait for PrizmDoc Server to become healthy. Poll http://yourserver:18681/PCCIS/V1/Service/Current/Health with a GET request until it returns HTTP 200, indicating the server is healthy. See the Health Status API for more information.

Once PrizmDoc Server reports healthy, your installation is complete.
