4.5.2 Non-Root Installation
If your organizational policy prohibits running the full installation process as
root
, the installation
can be completed in two steps. The first part of the installation procedure must be performed with
root
privileges, and the second part is performed as the administrative user (created during the first
part).
1 Log in as
root
to the server where you want to install Sentinel.
2 Select the installer
sentinel6_rd_x86-64.tar.gz
tar file, then download or copy to a
temporary directory.
3 If the
novell
user and
novell
group do not exist on the server, do the following:
3a
Extract the script to create the
novell
user and
novell
group from the Sentinel tar file.
For example:
tar xfz sentinel6_rd_x86-64.tar.gz sentinel6_rd_x86-64/setup/
root_create_novell_user.sh
3b As
root
, execute the script by using the following command:
sentinel6_rd_x86-64/setup/root_create_novell_user.sh
The
novell
user and
novell
group own the installation and the running processes of
Sentinel.
4 Create a directory for Sentinel. For example:
mkdir -p /opt/novell
5 Set the directory to be owned by the
novell
user and
novell
group. For example:
chown -R novell:novell /opt/novell
6 Log in as the
novell
user.
su - novell
7 Extract the installer tar file to installation directory you have created. For example:
cd /opt/novell
tar xfz sentinel6_rd_x86-64.tar.gz
8 Run the installation script as follows:
/opt/novell/sentinel6_rd_x86-64/setup/install.sh
9 Log out and then log in again to load the environment variable changes made by the
install.sh
script.
10
Enable the software startup as a service by running the following script as
root
.
sudo /opt/novell/sentinel6_rd_x86-64/setup/root_install_service.sh
11 Specify the number associated with the language to select the language for installation.
The End User License agreement is displayed in the selected language.
If the selected language is not available for the installer, the installer continues in English.
12 Read the end user license, then enter
1
or
y
if you agree to the terms and want to continue with
the installation.
13 Specify the license key.
14 Enter a password for the database administrator (
dbauser
).
The
dbauser
credentials are used to create tables and partitions in the PostgreSQL database.
