Install on a Headless Environment

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

NOTE: PrizmDoc v12.0 requires a clean installation when migrating from an earlier version than 12.0. You must first uninstall any previous versions of PrizmDoc and reboot your system. Only then should you install PrizmDoc v12.0.

• 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
   
   

   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

   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 command
   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 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

   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 install a license at the end of the evaluation period, (for example, a deployment license), run the following command:

   Example

   ./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

   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.
