Install on Linux
StyleVision Server is available for installation on Linux systems. Do the installation either as root user or a user with sudo privileges.
Integration of FlowForce Server and other Altova server products
If you are installing StyleVision Server together with FlowForce Server, it is recommended that you install FlowForce Server first. If you install StyleVision Server before FlowForce Server, then, after having installed both StyleVision Server and FlowForce Server, run the following command:
cp /opt/Altova/StyleVisionServer2024/etc/*.tool /opt/Altova/FlowForceServer2024/tools
This command copies the .tool file from /etc directory of StyleVision Server to the FlowForce Server /tools directory. The .tool file is required by FlowForce Server. It contains the path to the StyleVision Server executable. You do not need to run this command if you install FlowForce Server before installing StyleVision Server.
Uninstall StyleVision Server
Before you install StyleVision 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 StyleVision Server:
[Debian, Ubuntu]: sudo dpkg --remove stylevisionserver
[CentOS, RedHat]: sudo rpm -e stylevisionserver
On Debian and Ubuntu systems, it might happen that StyleVision Server still appears in the list of installed products after it has been uninstalled. In this case, run the purge command to clear StyleVision Server from the list. You can also use the purge command instead of the remove command listed above.
[Debian, Ubuntu]: sudo dpkg --purge stylevisionserver
Download the StyleVision Server Linux package
StyleVision 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 StyleVision Server with an Altova LicenseServer, you may want to download LicenseServer from the Altova website at the same time as you download StyleVision Server.
Install StyleVision 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 StyleVision Server using the relevant command:
[Debian]: sudo dpkg --install stylevisionserver-2024-debian.deb
[Ubuntu]: sudo dpkg --install stylevisionserver-2024-ubuntu.deb
[CentOS]: sudo rpm -ivh stylevisionserver-2024-1.x86_64.rpm
[RedHat]: sudo rpm -ivh stylevisionserver-2024-1.x86_64.rpm
You may need to adjust the name of the package above to match the current release or service pack version.
