Installation on Linux
Download the ExagoBI installer: ExagoInstaller_vXXX.X.X.XXX.tgz from here into a temporary directory.
Download the the K2View additional files and installation script from here into a temporary directory.
Open a CLI, move to the temporary directory and extract the downloaded file by running the following command as a user with root permissions:
tar -zxvf K2V_BI_installer.tar.gz
- Run the installation script with 2 variables: the installation folder /opt/apps/exago and the ExagoBI installation file name. In the example, the installation filename is: ExagoInstaller_v2021.1.15.239.
./k2view_BI_install.sh /opt/apps/exago ExagoInstaller_v2021.1.15.239
Note: the Exago installation folder name /opt/apps/exago is case-sensitive.
Continue to other installation and configuration steps described in the User Guide Installation article.
In Cloud environments (such as AWS and Azure) or when Local IP is not accessible (behind NAT) the file WebReportsApi.xml in the folder {Exago installation folder}/WebServiceApi/Config needs to be updated with the correct DNS/IP record. Update the line:
<webreportsbaseurl>http://{local_IP}/Exago/</webreportsbaseurl>
and replace the local IP with the current Information.
Note that if you need to run Fabric BI in secured environment, http should be replaced by https in the above line.
In order to start the environment or after system restart make sure the Apache service and FastCGI service are running. FastCGI management script is located in the installation folder of Exago (usualy '/opt/apps/exago').
To manage the FastCGI service:
./fastcgi.sh start|stop|restart|status
To manage the Apache service:
service apache2 start|stop|restart|status
