Installation

Introduction

The Jarvis software is released via packages.

Instructions for installing these packages are given below.

Once installed, the appropriate configuration must be applied in order to bring the platform into service.

OS Support

All Jarvis packages are designed to be installed on Linux-based systems such as Red Hat Linux and Debian. Installation is performed using standard package management tools:

yum/dnf and rpm on Red Hat systems.
apt, apt-get and dpkg on Debian systems.

Jarvis is officially supported on the following systems:

Red Hat systems:
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9
Debian systems:
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

In practice, Jarvis will run on any relatively modern Debian-based or Red Hat-based distribution with appropriate adjustments to these installation instructions.

Installation Disclaimer

No installation guide can cover every pre-requisite or potential eventuality of package installation. While N-Squared has documented the expected Jarvis installation steps, sometimes a target environment may differ in an unexpected manner and require additional or alternative steps actions to achieve an operational Jarvis environment. Please contact N-Squared to discuss such situations.

Package Availability

Individual packages for manual installation are available on request from N-Squared as part of a licensed software or services agreement.

N-Squared may alternately furnish access details for a software repository that can be integrated with your OS package management tools or satellite repository server directly for ease of installation and maintenance.
