Installing Content Platform Engine interactively

To install Content Platform Engine software interactively, you run an installation program that prompts you for an installation path and the Content Platform Engine components to be installed.

Before you begin

Be sure that you have available the Installation and Upgrade Worksheet that was completed during your planning activities.

Ensure all tasks described in the topic providing a JAVA Runtime Environment during install were previously completed.

Procedure

To install Content Platform Engine interactively:

  1. Open your completed Installation and Upgrade Worksheet file.
    Tip: In the worksheet file, verify that the Data > Filter > AutoFilter command is enabled. To view only Content Platform Engine values, filter by CPE Installer in the Installation or Configuration Program column.
  2. Log on as cpe_install_user to the application server machine where you are going to install the Content Platform Engine software.
  3. Navigate to the Content Platform Engine software package in the installation media.
  4. Run one of the following programs in the software package, depending on your operating system:
    Platform Command
    AIX® 26.0.0.0-P8CPE-AIX.BIN
    Linux® 26.0.0.0-P8CPE-LINUX.BIN
    Linux for System z® 26.0.0.0-P8CPE-ZLINUX.BIN
    Windows 26.0.0.0-P8CPE-WIN.EXE
    The installer name that you run corresponds to the version that you want to install.
    Tip: (Windows only) On some Windows versions, you might encounter a warning that the installer is an unrecognized app. Follow the links for More Info, and choose Run anyway or Allow the file to continue the installation.
  5. Complete the Content Platform Engine installation program screens by using the values from your worksheet.
  6. Review the status messages in the final program screen, and close the program.
  7. When the installation completes, click Done and check for errors in the Content Platform Engine ce_install_path/ce_install_log_26.0.0.0.txt error log file, where ce_install_path is the location where Content Platform Engine is installed. Also check the ce_install_path/ce_install_summary.txt file to see what components were installed.
