Installing on Linux
MobileTogether Server is available for installation on Linux systems. Its installation and setup procedure is described below. Perform installation either as root user or as a user with sudo privileges.
Uninstall MobileTogether Server
If you need to uninstall a previous version of MobileTogether Server, do this as follows. On the Linux command line interface (CLI), you can check which Altova server products are installed with the following command:
[Debian, Ubuntu]: dpkg --list | grep Altova
[CentOS, RedHat]: rpm -qa | grep server
If MobileTogether Server is not installed, go ahead with the installation as documented below in Install MobileTogether Server.
If you need to uninstall an old version of MobileTogether Server, do this with the following command:
[Debian, Ubuntu]: sudo dpkg --remove mobiletogetherserveradv
[CentOS, RedHat]: sudo rpm -e mobiletogetherserveradv
On Debian and Ubuntu systems, it might happen that MobileTogether Server still appears in the list of installed products after it has been uninstalled. In this case, run the purge command to clear MobileTogether Server from the list. You can also use the purge command instead of the remove command listed above.
[Debian, Ubuntu]: sudo dpkg --purge mobiletogetherserveradv
Download the MobileTogether Server Linux package
MobileTogether Server installation packages for the following Linux systems are available at the Altova website.
Distribution | Package extension |
|---|---|
Debian | .deb |
Ubuntu | .deb |
CentOS | .rpm |
RedHat | .rpm |
After downloading the Linux package, copy it to any directory on the Linux system. Since you will need an Altova LicenseServer in order to run MobileTogether Server, you may want to download LicenseServer from the Altova website at the same time as you download MobileTogether Server, rather than download it at a later time.
Install MobileTogether Server
In a terminal window, switch to the directory where you have copied the Linux package. For example, if you copied it to a user directory called MyAltova (that is located, say, in the /home/User directory), then switch to this directory as follows:
cd /home/User/MyAltova
Install MobileTogether Server with the following command:
[Debian]: sudo dpkg --install mobiletogetherserver-8.1-debian.deb
[Ubuntu]: sudo dpkg --install mobiletogetherserver-8.1-ubuntu.deb
[CentOS]: sudo rpm -ivh mobiletogetherserver-8.1-1.x86_64.rpm
[RedHat]: sudo rpm -ivh mobiletogetherserver-8.1-1.x86_64.rpm
| Note: | You may need to adjust the name of the package above to match the current release or service pack version. |
The MobileTogether Server package will be installed in the folder:
/opt/Altova/MobileTogetherServer
