Production Installation: Overview

HydraDAM runs on Linux and these production installation instructions have been tested on Ubuntu and CentOS. They may or may not work on other flavors of Unix.

Follow the instructions in the order listed below. We recommend using rvm in single-user development environments, however native installation of ruby in production environments is preferred because of complexities that can arise when using rvm under multiple user contexts.

Steps

2. Install dependencies (development tools & libraries).
3. (CentOS Only) Disable SELinux.
4. Install Ruby 2.0 and Rubygems 2.0.
5. Install Java 7.
6. Install Tomcat.
7. Install a SQL database for Fedora.
8. Install Fedora.
9. Install Solr 4.2.
