Installing StarTeam Server on Linux

  1. Close all applications.
  2. Navigate to the directory that contains the downloaded files.
  3. Run the downloaded installer by extracting the tar.gz file.
  4. Run the binary file using the command ./server.bin.
    Note: When installing or uninstalling on a non-Windows platform, specify the installed Java VM to use as a parameter when running the installer. This step is necessary because Java VMs for non-Microsoft Windows operating systems are not bundled with the installers. If you experience any difficulties running the ./server.bin command, add the parameter LAX_VM and specify the path to your VM. For example: ./server.bin LAX_VM /usr/java/latest/jre/bin/java.
  5. In the StarTeam Server splash screen, select the appropriate language and click OK.
  6. On the Introduction page, read the information, and click Next.
  7. If the ORACLE_HOME variable is not set in your environment, the Get Oracle Path dialog box will appear. Browse to or type the path to the Oracle client installation and click Next.
  8. On the License Agreement page, read the agreement. If you agree with the license agreement, click I accept.... If you do not accept the license agreement, you cannot install the product.
  9. On the Choose Install Set page, choose either Typical, Full, or Custom.
    Typical
    Installs StarTeam Server and the StarTeam documentation.
    Compact
    Installs StarTeam Server with the minimum required options.
    Custom
    Enables you to choose the options you want to install. Recommended for advanced users.
  10. Click Next.
  11. For a custom installation only, select the options you want:
    StarTeam Server
    If you use the custom installation to install something that was not installed during a previous installation of StarTeam Server, you may choose to uncheck this check box. For example, suppose that in a previous custom installation, you elected to bypass the installation of PostgreSQL. To add that database now without reinstalling all of the server program files, you would clear the Server check box.
    StarTeam Toolbar
    Installs the StarTeam Toolbar which remembers passwords so that logging on is easier.
  12. Click Next.
  13. On the Choose Install Folder page, browse for the location to be used as the installation folder.

    The default location is /home/starteam/starteamserver<version>.

  14. Click Next.
  15. On the Pre-installation Summary page, review the settings and click Previous one or more times if you want to change the installation options. Then return to the Pre-installation Summary page, and click Next or Install.
  16. On the Install Complete page, click Done.
