Follow the below instructions to install WSO2 Governance Registry (binary) version 4.5.0 on Linux from the command line.
Note
Before you install Governance Registry, ensure that your system meets the minimum hardware and software requirements described in Governance Registry Installation Prerequisites.
Establish an SSH connection to the Linux machine or log in on the text Linux console. You should either log in as root or obtain root permissions after login via su
or sudo
command.
Step 1. Obtain Installation Pack
Download the latest version of the program (for downloading instructions, see Obtaining Governance Registry).
Step 2. Extract the Archive
After the download is complete, extract the installation files to your home directory by executing the following command:
unzip wso2greg-4.5.0.zip
Step 3. Set up JAVA_HOME
JAVA_HOME
environment variable set up is required to run WSO2 Governance Registry. The variable points to the directory where the Java™ Development Kit (JDK) is installed on the computer.
Reference
Environment variables are global system variables accessible by all the processes running under the operating system.
Edit the "BASHRC" file in your home directory to add the JAVA_HOME
environment variable. To set up JAVA_HOME
, perform the following steps:
1. Open the "BASHRC" file in your favorite Linux text editor (vi, emacs, pico, or mcedit).
2. Add the following two lines to the bottom of the file:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_25 export PATH=${JAVA_HOME}/bin:${PATH}
3. Save the file.
Tip
If you do not know how to work with text editors in a Linux SSH session, run the following command:
cat >> .bashrc
Paste the string from the clipboard and press "Ctrl+D."
4. In order to verify the effectiveness of the JAVA_HOME
variable set up, execute the following command:
echo $JAVA_HOME
The system returns the JDK installation path.
Step 4. Access Governance Registry Management Console
Governance Registry is installed and environment variables are set up. Proceed to Starting Governance Registry Management Console on Linux for instructions on how to run the Governance Registry Management Console.
