Driven Administrator Guide

version 1.3.8

Installing the Driven Server

Prerequisite

Java 7 installation on the host computer

NOTES FOR UPGRADES:

If you do not want to retain Driven data after the upgrade, then perform a fresh installation of Driven Server version 1.3 as documented below.
To upgrade and migrate your data, perform an upgrade for each incremental version change between your current installation and version 1.3. See the documentation for the following upgrade paths:
- Driven 1.2 > 1.3
- Driven 1.1 > 1.2

Download and Install the Driven Server

Step 1: Download the Driven Server installation ZIP archive, which includes Apache Tomcat and embedded Elasticsearch libraries, by one of the following methods:

Download the ZIP archive directly with this hyperlink: driven-tomcat-1.3.8.zip
Alternatively, on UNIX, Linux, and Mac, run the following command:

$ wget -i http://files.concurrentinc.com/driven/1.3/driven-server/latest-tomcat.txt

The ZIP archive is packaged to address all interdependencies.

Step 2: Unzip the Driven installation package

Extract the installation package into your installation directory.

$ unzip driven-tomcat-1.3.8.zip
$ cd driven-tomcat-1.3.8

Tip	If you already have a servlet container that you want to use as the web server, deploy the WAR file from the extracted Driven installation package as the ROOT context.

Installing Elasticsearch for Clustered Production Environments

You must perform stand-alone Elasticsearch installation if you are deploying Driven on multiple nodes.

Before you begin Elasticsearch installation:

See the Driven Compatibility Matrix section of the Planning a Driven Deployment page to ensure that you install a compatible version of Elasticsearch.
Create an elasticsearch user and group on the operating system.
Consider increasing the open file limit for the elasticsearch user.

See Installing Elasticsearch for more information.

Continue deployment by following the steps in Configuring the Driven Server.
