As of February 2016, opEvents is distributed in a self-extracting download format that simplifies the installation process quite a bit. More information on running the installer can be found HERE: The Opmantek Installer

Transfer the opEvents installer onto the server in question, either by direct download from the Opmantek website (using wget as demonstrated below), or from your desktop with scp, sftp or a similar file transfer tool.
Make a record of where you put the installer (we recommend using root's home directory or /tmp as good locations).

  • Remember, you must have root access to run the installer, so either use sudo or log in as root:

    Code Block# become root sudo sh # If using wget, for example, change into the directory you want to download the installer into cd /tmp # Here's an example of using wget to retrieve the installer from Opmantek's S3 server: wget http://dl-omk.opmantek

    .

  • Start the interactive installer and follow its instructions. The installer now fully covers both initial installations as well as upgrades from earlier versions of opEvents.

    Code Block
    # Next, start the interactive installer and follow the prompts.
sh ./opEvents-Linux-x86_64-2.4.1.run
