h3. 1. Install the Server Using APT-GET


h4. 1.1 Configure APT Repository

The Advanced Packaging Tool, or *APT*, is used to handle the retrieval, configuration, and installation of software packages and the removal of software on Debian GNU/Linux distributions. Configure an *APT repository* to manage installations of and [upgrades|Upgrading Enterprise Edition for Linux] to CDP Enterprise Edition.

First, modify your {{/etc/apt/sources.list}} to include the R1Soft repository, and then download the R1Soft {{apt gpg}} key.

{code}# echo deb http://repo.r1soft.com/apt stable main >> /etc/apt/sources.list
# wget http://repo.r1soft.com/r1soft.asc
# apt-key add r1soft.asc{code}

When the repository is configured, run {{apt-get update}} to download the information about the packages in the new repository:
{code}# apt-get update{code}

h4. 1.2 Install the Package

1. Once the *APT repository* is configured, you can use the following command to install the CDP Server:

{code}#apt-get install r1soft-cdp-enterprise-server{code}

2. Once the installation is complete, you can use the help command to list all available options:

{code}#r1soft-setup --help{code}

h3. 2. Install the Server Manually (Using DPKG)

h4. 2.1 Download CDP Enterprise Edition

See [Obtaining Linux CDP Enterprise Edition].

h4. 2.2 Make Sure You Can Unzip the Download

Most Linux distributions come with the *unzip* utility pre-installed. To determine if you have the unzip utility, run:

{code}# which unzip{code}

This should return an output similar to the following:

{code}# which unzip
/usr/bin/unzip{code}

!01___310.png!

If it returns the following, you need to install the *unzip* utility first:

{code}unzip: Command not found.{code}

To install *unzip* on Debian or Ubuntu:

{code}# apt-get install unzip{code}

!install standard 1.png!

h4. 2.3 Extract the ZIP File

We recommend creating a temporary directory to which you can extract the contents of the ZIP file.

1. Use the {{mkdir}} command to create a temporary directory (in our case, {{cdp}}).

{code}# mkdir cdp{code}

2. Use the {{mv}} command to move the archive to that directory. Note that Linux file names are case-sensitive. Make sure you type the name correctly (in our case, "*r1soft-enterpriseedition-linux64-3.18.2.zip*").

{code}# mv r1soft-enterpriseedition-linux64-3.18.2.zip cdp{code}

3. Use the {{cd}} command to go to that directory.

{code}# cd cdp{code}

4. Use the {{unzip}} command to extract the files.

{code}# unzip r1soft-enterpriseedition-linux64-3.18.2.zip{code}

h4. 2.4 Install the Packages Using dpkg

{note:title=Notice}You must be a Linux root user to install CDP Enterprise Edition.
{note}

The archive you have extracted contains two folders: one with {{.deb}} packages (in our case, "*deb-linux32*") and one with {{.rpm}} packages ("*rpm-linux32*"). If you are installing on Debian or Ubuntu, choose the {{.deb}} package.

Each folder contains a set of CDP components:
* {{r1soft-cdp-enterprise-edition}}
* {{r1soft-setup}}
* {{r1soft-cdp-agent}}
* {{r1soft-cdp-async-agent-2-6}}
* {{r1soft-cdp-server}}

You will need to install all of them in one step. Use the {{cd}} command to go to the folder with the packages (in our case, "*deb-linux32*") and run the following command:

*DEB 32-bit (x86) /* *DEB 64-bit (x86_64)*

{code}dpkg -i *.deb{code}

!lin04.png!

{info:title=Note}The installed files are located in the {{/usr/sbin/r1soft}} directory. The server startup script is {{/etc/init.d/cdp-server}}.
{info}

{info:title=Note}You do not need to install the kernel module on the Server. {info}

----
h3. 3. Configure and Start the CDP Server Web-based User Interface

1. You must *define a username and password* for the CDP Server Web Interface before you can begin using CDP Enterprise Edition.

{code}# r1soft-setup --user DESIRE9D_USERNAME --pass DESIRED_PASSWORD{code}

Example of how to set "admin" username and "r1soft" password:

{code}# r1soft-setup --user admin --pass r1soft{code}

After running this command, you will see an output similar to the following:

{code}Server username and password set
The R1Soft CDP Server must be restarted for these changes to take effect
Use '/etc/init.d/cdp-server restart' to restart.{code}

2. *Configure ports*, if necessary.

By default, the embedded web server in CDP Enterprise Edition required for the Web-based Interface will listen on TCP ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS). These ports are frequently used by your Linux server (e.g., by Apache). If you are already using ports 80 and 443, you will need to define different ports. Ports 8080 (HTTP) and 8443 (HTTPS) are recommended alternatives to standard 80 and 443. However, you can choose any other valid and unused TCP port.

{code}# r1soft-setup --http-port 8080 --https-port 8443{code}

3. *Start the Web Interface* (CDP Server):

{code}/etc/init.d/cdp-server restart{code}

{info:title=Note}You may need to change the firewall rules, depending on where you are connecting to the Web Interface from.
{info}
You should now be able to connect to the CDP Enterprise Edition Web Interface using Firefox or Internet Explorer.
