Vykon_N4_Supervisor_for_Linux_x64-4.2.n.zip.
You can expand this file to examine its contents. To do that, change to the parent directory and enter the following command:root@<host>:/home/<user># unzip <vendor>_<release version>_Supervisor_for_Linux_x64-n.n.#.zip (For example, Vykon_N4_Supervisor_for_Linux_x64-4.2.36.12.zip).
The command expands the image and produces the directory hierarchy:
| dist | folder |
| docs | folder |
| install-data | folder |
| javaodc | folder |
| modules | folder |
| overlay | folder |
| install.sh | shell script |
| INSTALL.txt | installation instructions |
| README.txt | README document |
| install_common.sh | Tar archive |
Please review the README.txt and INSTALL.txt files. When you are ready to begin the installation process, type the following at the command prompt:
root@<host>:/home/<user># sudo bash install.shThis script steps you through the installation process by asking a series of yes/no questions, where the default choice appears
in capital letters, that is YES or NO instead of yes or no. Press Enter to accept the default, or type “y” or “n”.
Some of the more complicated questions include:
Would you like to configure which users can use
If you answer YES to this question, any user you provide will be added to the new group 'niagara', have permissions to start/stop/query the
platform service, and have Desktop and Menu Icons installed to their home directory.
If you choose not to configure any users, you'll still be able to run the 'niagarad' software and
If you want to add users later, use the command: usermod -G -a niagara UserNameYouWantToAdd
add_n4_user.sh and remove_n4_user.sh. These are found in /opt/Niagara/Niagara-<version>/install. These scripts need to be executed with elevated permissions using sudo. For more details, see the Linux AXSupervisor’s !/install contents topic for description of the bash scripts.
Should the installer make the necessary modifications to "/etc/sudoers"? [yes/NO]:
This is a convenience. If you choose yes, then the /etc/sudoers entry required to allow members of the group 'niagara' to execute '/usr/bin/niagaradctl' as the user 'niagara' is automatically generated and added to the file ‘/etc/sudoers’. If you choose no, then the necessary entry will still be generated and logged, you will just need to manually modify the
‘/etc/sudoers’ file through vim or visudo.
The remainder of the questions asked by the installer should not require explanation. The installer will ask you to review your choices and then it copies files. If the installer fails at any step, please send an email to Tridium support that specifies your Linux distribution, version, and the install.log file.
Once you have installed
