Installing with the MicroStrategy Installation Wizard for Linux

To install MicroStrategy products, you must log on to your machine using a valid Linux account. For ease of management and maintenance, it is recommended that you create a dedicated user account.

You need root access permissions for installation if you have purchased the CPU-based MicroStrategy license.

If you want to enable additional error and troubleshooting issue logging for the MicroStrategy installation routine, contact MicroStrategy Technical Support.

To exit the installation process at any time, click Cancel.

To access the MicroStrategy Installation Wizard

  1. Navigate to the MicroStrategy Installation folder and then QueryReportingAnalysis_Linux

    You can access the installation files by asking your system administrator to share the files on a network location. There are different installation files for installing MicroStrategy products on different platforms; Windows and Linux.

    You can reduce the amount of data that has to be downloaded for the installation by excluding all of the .tzp files located in the DataFiles folder. You can use this technique to download only the files required to complete your MicroStrategy installation, which can then also be used to reduce the amount of data packaged and downloaded for other MicroStrategy installations. For steps to create these custom installation packages, see Creating Custom Installation Packages. Details on using a options.txt file to provide the location of the installation files are provided in Automated Installation on Linux and the parameters used to specify the location of the required installation files are described in Install on Demand Options.

  2. Type one of the following commands, depending on the installation mode you chose:

    • To run the wizard in GUI mode: ./setup.sh
    • To run the wizard in command line mode: ./setup.sh -console

    • To run the wizard in silent mode: ./setup.sh -silent -options options.txt

      For information on performing a silent installation with an options.txt file, see Completing a Silent Installation.

  3. The MicroStrategy Installation Wizard opens and leads you through the installation process. The following sections describe the actions you need to take for each page in the wizard.

    To complete the installation, you must have write permissions in the installation directory; otherwise the installation fails.

    After you enter all required information on an installation page, click Next, or press 1 and then click Enter, to proceed to the next page of the installation routine.

    To quit the installation at any time during the setup, click Cancel, or press 3 and then click Enter.
