Performing command-line Linux installations of Corticon components

A command-line install runs a Linux installation in a command shell as a text command with parameters.

To perform command-line installations for Corticon components on Linux:

  1. On a supported 64-bit Linux platform, copy the downloaded Linux installer binary files to a temp directory CorticonInstall:
    • PROGRESS_CORTICON_7.3_SERVER_JAVA_LNX_64.bin
    • PROGRESS_CORTICON_7.3_UTILITIES_LNX_64.bin
    Note: The Corticon Web Console is set at version 7.1.3. As such, it requires Java 17 and Tomcat 9 (only), and cannot be collocated with Corticon Server 7.3. See Corticon Web Console installation guide for details.
  2. Copy the CcLicense.jar you created from the license download to /tmp/CorticonInstall.
  3. Grant your installation user access to the installation directory:
    > cd tmp		
    > sudo chmod 755 CorticonInstall
  4. Review the files copied to the temp directory on your Linux machine:
    > cd CorticonInstall
    > ls
  5. Ensure that you can install each Corticon Server bin files by assigning the proper rights:
    > sudo chmod 777 PROGRESS_CORTICON_7.3_SERVER_JAVA_LNX_64.bin
  6. In a shell, run the binaries with the console option. For example:
    # ./PROGRESS_CORTICON_7.3_SERVER_JAVA_LNX_64.bin -i console
    # ./PROGRESS_CORTICON_7.3_UTILITIES_LNX_64.bin -i console
  7. Follow the prompts to complete the installation via the command-line.
Note: The work directory path must not contain spaces.
