If you have the application installed **Editran Core Connect**, you must uninstall it before proceeding with the installation of **Editran Connect**. This will avoid conflicts between both applications. It is recommended to make a full backup of the data, folders, and files of **Editran Core Connect** before uninstalling it. *** ## Graphical environment installation In Linux environments with a desktop system and modern versions of KDE or GNOME, it is possible to install the software in graphical mode, using the classic installer. To keep things simple and because Linux systems are usually installed on machines without a desktop environment, we do not cover it on this site. ## Text-mode installation Below, the installation steps are described. The process is quite simple and quick to perform. Make sure you have a console or terminal environment available. ## Step 1: Start 1. Assign permissions to the installation file, if necessary: ```bash sudo chmod +x EditranConnect-3.0.x-linux-x64.run ``` 2. Run the installation package. The parameter `--mode text` indicates that you want to perform the installation in text mode. It is not necessary if the system has no graphical environment: ```bash sudo ./EditranConnect-3.0.x-linux-x64.run --mode text ``` 3. If you want to view the installation parameters, you can run the following command: ```bash sudo ./EditranConnect-3.0.x-linux-x64.run --mode text ``` ## Step 2: Installation directory The installer will ask you to specify the directory where you want to install the application. ![Installation directory](https://1386330368-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F2jqgE5yyM3S58JKHROiz%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-f48d41ce41f8a373212edae6dd0490258512ab65%2Fdirectorio_instalacion_text.png?alt=media) 1. **Default path**: `/opt/EditranConnect`. 2. If you prefer a different path, type it manually or click **Enter** to accept the default path. 3. Type **Y** if you want to perform a **custom (advanced) installation**. This will allow you to modify the installation's default values. In the following steps, the options you can adjust will be detailed. 4. Press **Enter** to continue. If you have not specified **Custom installation (advanced)**, continue in the **Step 4**. ## Step 3: Component selection (custom installation) Next, you can choose which components of the application you want to install: ![Component selection](https://1386330368-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F2jqgE5yyM3S58JKHROiz%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-768e4d761e93093b225ac333f75a978affa5202d%2Fseleccion_componentes_text.png?alt=media) 1. Some components are mandatory, so they cannot be edited or selected. 2. It is recommended to leave the default selection if you are not sure which components to select. * **Signing module**: Type **Y** in this component if you need to install and configure the signing module. And in **Creation and initialization** to create and configure the files and tools for this module. * **Database**: Type **Y** in the component **Creation and initialization** to create and initialize the database. 3. Press **Enter** to continue, or type **N** if you want to modify the component selection. ## Step 4: Linux Distribution Next, you can select the Linux distribution you are using: ![Linux distribution](https://1386330368-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F2jqgE5yyM3S58JKHROiz%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-3a3b3ce0eef5f8764bfe8154ffae1cc638a32355%2Fdistribucion_linux_text.png?alt=media) 1. Indicate the Linux distribution you are using. If you are not sure, you can leave the default option. * **Debian**: For Debian-based distributions (Ubuntu, Mint). * **Red Hat**: For Red Hat-based distributions (Fedora, CentOS). * **Other distributions**: For other distributions not officially supported. 2. It is important to select the correct distribution, as this will affect the installation of the packages needed for the application to work. 3. Type the distribution number and press **Enter** to continue. If you have specified **Custom installation (advanced)** continues in the **Step 5**, and otherwise continue in **Step 9**. ## Step 5: Configuration. Ports (custom installation) Next, you can modify the ports assigned by default to the various application services: ![Configuration. Ports](https://1386330368-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F2jqgE5yyM3S58JKHROiz%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-5545cac81bdbafe131abfa98173c8117fbac284b%2Fconfiguracion_puertos_text.png?alt=media) If you are not sure, it is recommended to keep the default values. However, if you know that a port is in use, it is advisable to change it. Press **Enter** to keep the default port. ## Step 6: Configuration. Database (custom installation) Next, you can modify the database access credentials: ![Configuration. Database](https://1386330368-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F2jqgE5yyM3S58JKHROiz%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-10f504c677e592755df255f64dd73063572e7662%2Fconfiguracion_base_de_datos_text.png?alt=media) If you want to change them, enter a username and a password (both are required). The password must match the confirmation, otherwise an error will be displayed. Press **Enter** to keep the default values. ## Step 7: Configuration. Certificate (custom installation) Next, you can select the files of your own self-signed certificate: * **Certificate**: Certificate file (.pem). * **Certificate key**: Private key file (.key). ![Configuration. Certificate](https://1386330368-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F2jqgE5yyM3S58JKHROiz%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-a172a3c9eee67ba5fefabc91e43de4cfab9aa804%2Fconfiguracion_certificado_text.png?alt=media) 1. This information is optional. If you do not specify a certificate, the installer will use a temporary self-signed certificate. Although it is functional, it is not valid and must be replaced with an SSL certificate issued by a certificate authority. 2. If you want to use your own certificate, type **Y** in **Specify an SSL certificate**. 3. Press **Enter** to continue. 4. Then enter the name and path of the certificate files. ## Step 8: License (custom installation) Next, you can select the license file (.dat) if you have one. This step is optional. ![License file](https://1386330368-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F2jqgE5yyM3S58JKHROiz%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-b6b0f9b4e5672fb7fc7ed50431cb3b7e475c8982%2Ffichero_licencia_text.png?alt=media) 1. Enter the name and full path of the license file, if you want to specify it. 2. Press **Enter** to continue. ## Step 9: Summary Next, you will be shown a summary of the installation that will be performed: ![Installation summary](https://1386330368-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F2jqgE5yyM3S58JKHROiz%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-9e3bda79790dc7d3c6800c3d1dad20080ed624e1%2Fresumen_instalacion_text.png?alt=media) Among other things, the following information will be shown: * Version to install * Installation type (Normal) * Directories * Available and required space * Ports * ... Press **Enter** to continue. 1. Before starting the installation process, a series of validations are performed to verify that the installation parameters are correct. 2. If any problem is detected, such as a port already in use, an error message will be displayed and you will need to repeat the installation process by selecting **Custom installation (advanced)** so that you can correct the incorrect values. ## Step 10: Confirmation Next, you will be told that everything is ready to perform the installation: ![Ready to install](https://1386330368-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F2jqgE5yyM3S58JKHROiz%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-93ff9aa22d966f4209e36ab797c83b26ee9e1a74%2Fconfirmacion_instalacion_text.png?alt=media) 1. Type **N** if you do not want to start the installation process. 2. Press **Enter** to continue. *** ## Step 11: Installation in progress The installation will begin and the progress will be shown along with the running processes: ![Installation in progress](https://1386330368-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F2jqgE5yyM3S58JKHROiz%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-b2e40503d069aa9fd90462d552df319cd43e1d03%2Finstalacion_en_proceso_text.png?alt=media) If the services do not start correctly, a warning message will appear. See the section *Troubleshooting* to identify the cause. Wait for the process to finish. *** ## Step 12: Installation completed Once the installation is complete, a message will be shown that the process has finished ![Installation completed](https://1386330368-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F2jqgE5yyM3S58JKHROiz%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-3cc8959c4d41e830c0193131dd755a4b7f467eb8%2Finstalacion_finalizada_text.png?alt=media) **Done!** You now have the application **Editran Connect** installed on your system. ## Troubleshooting ### 1. Errors during installation If you encounter any errors during the installation process, check the following points: * **Disk space**: Make sure there is enough space available for the installation. * **System compatibility**: Verify that your operating system and processor are compatible. * **Administrator permissions**: Run the installer with superuser (root) permissions to avoid permission problems. * **Antivirus or firewall**: Check that your antivirus or firewall is not blocking the installation. If necessary, disable them temporarily during the process. For more information about the error, consult the installation log file. ### 2. The services do not start If the installation was successful, but the services do not start, check the following: * **Dependencies**: Make sure that all necessary services are running. For example, the service *Editran Connect Data* must be started before starting the service *Editran Connect Base*. * **Port in use**: Confirm that port 443 *(Editran Connect Server)* or 5432 *(Editran Connect Data)* is not being used by another service. You can use tools such as `netstat` to check the ports in use. * **Firewall**: Check that there is no firewall blocking the ports used by the services. * **Database configuration**: Verify that the database is correctly configured and accessible. Make sure that the access credentials are correct and that the database server is running. * **Software conflicts**: Make sure that there are no other programs or services conflicting with **Editran Connect**. Check that the application **Editran Core Connect** is uninstalled. * **Linux distribution**: Verify that the Linux distribution selected during installation is the correct one. * **License**: Verify that the license file (`licencia.dat`) is present and valid. This means that the services *Editran License Service* and *Editran Connect Base* will not start. * **Local environment**: The service *Editran Connect Base* will not start until a local environment is configured in the *Editran Core*. For more details about possible errors, review the log files. ## Log files Below is a table with the different log files, their description, name, and location. | **Description** | **File(s)** | **Location** | | --------------------------------- | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------- | | Installation log | `installbuilder_installer.log` | `/tmp` | | Startup and service status log | `*.out, *log` | `%INSTALL_DIR%/services/logs` | | Database errors and events log | `logfile` | `%INSTALL_DIR%/data` | | Application errors and events log | `*.log` | `%INSTALL_DIR%/logs` | | Core module errors and events log | `*.out, *log` | `%INSTALL_DIR%/core/log` | | License errors and events log | `*.log` | `%INSTALL_DIR%/core/bin/SL/log` | *** ## Services Below is a table with the different services of the application, their description and the dependencies required to start them. | **First name** | **Description** | **Dependencies to start** | | ----------------------- | -------------------------------------- | ------------------------- | | Editran Connect Base | Editran Connect services | Editran Connect Data | | Editran Connect Data | Database service for Editran Connect | | | Editran Connect Server | Web server for Editran Connect | | | Editran Connect Sign | Signing services for Editran Connect | Editran Connect Data | | Editran Base Service | EDITRAN protocol for file transmission | Editran License Service | | Editran License Service | Handles License V2 API requests | | *** --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
