Install on Linux
Authentic Server is available for installation on Linux systems. Do the installation either as root user or a user with sudo privileges.
Uninstall Authentic Server
Before you install Authentic Server, you should uninstall any older version.
To check which Altova server products are installed:
[Debian, Ubuntu]: dpkg --list | grep Altova
[CentOS, RedHat]: rpm -qa | grep server
To uninstall an old version of Authentic Server:
[Debian, Ubuntu]: sudo dpkg --remove authenticserver
[CentOS, RedHat]: sudo rpm -e authenticserver
On Debian and Ubuntu systems, it might happen that Authentic Server still appears in the list of installed products after it has been uninstalled. In this case, run the purge command to clear Authentic Server from the list. You can also use the purge command instead of the remove command listed above.
[Debian, Ubuntu]: sudo dpkg --purge authenticserver
Download the Authentic Server Linux package
Authentic Server installation packages for the following Linux systems are available at the Altova website.
Distribution | Package extension |
|---|---|
Debian | .deb |
Ubuntu | .deb |
CentOS | .rpm |
RedHat | .rpm |
After downloading the Linux package, copy it to any directory on the Linux system. Since you will need to license Authentic Server with an Altova LicenseServer, you may want to download LicenseServer from the Altova website at the same time as you download Authentic Server.
Install Authentic Server
In a terminal window, switch to the directory where you copied the Linux package. For example, if you copied it to a user directory called MyAltova that is located in the /home/User directory, switch to this directory as follows:
cd /home/User/MyAltova
Install Authentic Server using the relevant command:
[Debian]: sudo dpkg --install authenticserver-2027-debian.deb
[Ubuntu]: sudo dpkg --install authenticserver-2027-ubuntu.deb
[CentOS]: sudo rpm -ivh authenticserver-2027-1.x86_64.rpm
[RedHat]: sudo rpm -ivh authenticserver-2027-1.x86_64.rpm
You may need to adjust the name of the package above to match the current release or service pack version.
The Authentic Server package will be installed in the following folder:
/opt/Altova/AuthenticServer2027
