Template:Running the Rapid Installer

Running the Rapid Installer

For installation using a method other than the Rapid Installer, please see the sections that follow.
1. Copy the Rapid Installer binary file to the host where the given component will be installed.
2. Log in to the host as the superuser.
3. Make sure that the Rapid Installer binary file is executable. For example:

  # chmod +x ZRM-enterprise-2.1-installer.bin 

4. Run the installer by double-clicking on it, or enter the following command line:

  #  ./ZRM-enterprise-2.1-installer.bin

5. The Rapid Installer then starts. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Note: The installer performs several tasks after creating and populating the Zmanda directories. These are completed after the progress bar (which only tracks the archive extraction) shows 100% completion. These tasks take time. Please wait till they complete.

6. After the ZRM for MySQL binaries have been extracted and installed, the Zmanda Management Console is launched and the readme file is displayed. The readme file includes the default ZRM for MySQL username and password. You can now login to the console using any supported browser and begin backing up MySQL databases.
