Driven Administrator Guide

version 2.0.5

Installing the Driven Server

Prerequisite

Java 7 installation on the host computer

NOTES FOR UPGRADES:

To retain data from a deployment of an earlier version of Driven, see Upgrading to Driven Server 2.0.
If you do not want to retain Driven data after the upgrade, then perform a fresh installation of Driven Server 2.0 as documented below.

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-2.0.5.zip
Alternatively, on UNIX, Linux, and Mac, run the following command:

$ wget -i http://files.concurrentinc.com/driven/2.0/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-2.0.5.zip
$ cd driven-tomcat-2.0.5

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 Version Requirements 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.
Some functionality in Driven depends on dynamic scripting being enabled. Please make sure that script.disable_dynamic: false is set in your elasticsearch.yml

See Elasticsearch Reference for more information.

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