MicroStrategy Installation Wizard: Choose Destination Location

Specify the locations where the MicroStrategy products and MicroStrategy common files are to be installed:

  • MicroStrategy Home Directory: Specify the location where the MicroStrategy configuration files and application launchers are to be installed, according to the following guidelines:

    • The default location is /var/opt/MicroStrategy, or $HOME/MicroStrategy if you do not have write access to /var/opt/MicroStrategy.
    • Do not install the MicroStrategy configuration files directly to your Linux Home Directory ($HOME). To ensure that the required permissions can be defined for the MicroStrategy configuration files, you must install these files within a separate directory. For example, the default path of $HOME/MicroStrategy uses the MicroStrategy directory within $HOME to ensure permissions on these files are defined correctly.
    • The path specified for the home directory is referred to as HOME_PATH in this guide.
    • Do not change the names of folders within the HOME_PATH after installing Intelligence Server.
    • When including paths during a MicroStrategy installation, include absolute paths rather than relative paths.

  • MicroStrategy Install Directory: Specify the location where the MicroStrategy products are to be installed, according to the following guidelines:

    • The default location is /opt/MicroStrategy, or $HOME/MicroStrategy/install if you do not have write access to /opt/MicroStrategy.
    • The path specified for the install directory is referred to as INSTALL_PATH in this guide.
    • Do not change the names of folders within the INSTALL_PATH after installing Intelligence Server.
    • When including paths during a MicroStrategy installation, include absolute paths rather than relative paths.

  • MicroStrategy Log Directory: Specify the location where the MicroStrategy application logs are to be created, according to the following guidelines:

    • The default location is /var/log/MicroStrategy, or $HOME/MicroStrategy/log if you do not have write access to /var/log/MicroStrategy.
    • The path specified for the log directory is referred to as LOG_PATH in this guide.
    • When including paths during a MicroStrategy installation, include absolute paths rather than relative paths.

    • The MSTRDebugInstall.log file will be located in the MicroStrategy Log Directory for troubleshooting.
