Installing IBM IoT MessageSight

You can install IBM® IoT MessageSight in Docker containers or as RPMs directly on your host operating system. On Red Hat systems, you must have an active Red Hat subscription to install IBM IoT MessageSight in Docker containers or as RPMs directly on your host operating system. You do not need such a subscription on CentOS.

After you have installed the IBM IoT MessageSight server, you must set the license type and accept the license agreement by using a REST Administration API. Until the license is accepted, the IBM IoT MessageSight server remains in maintenance mode. For more information about using a REST Administration API to set the licensed usage and accept the license agreement, see Configuring the licensed usage for IBM IoT MessageSight and accepting the license by using REST Administration APIs.
