Pre 2016 Installations

Preparation

• If you do not yet have a working installation of NMIS in your server, please follow the procedure in the NMIS 8 Installation Guide.
• Download opCharts from the Opmantek website.

Installation Steps

Transfer the opCharts tarball onto the server in question, either by direct download from the Opmantek website, or from your desktop with scp or sftp or a similar file transfer tool.
Make a record of where you put the tarball (root's home directory or /tmp are good locations).

• Become root and unpack the tarball:

  # become root
  sudo sh
  # if the tarball was saved in a different location, adjust the following command 
  cd
  tar xzf opCharts-x86_64-2.0.1.tar.gz

• Start the interactive installer and follow its instructions:

  sudo sh
  cd opCharts-2.0.1
  ./installer

• The installer will interactively guide you through the steps of installing opCharts. Please make sure to read the on-screen prompts carefully.
• When the installer finishes, opCharts is installed into /usr/local/omk, and the default configuration files are in /usr/local/omk/conf, ready for your initial config adjustments.
• A detailed log of the installation process is saved as /usr/local/omk/install.log, and subsequent upgrades or installations of other Opmantek products will add to that logfile.
• For detailed information about the interactive installer please check the Opmantek Installer page.
