This guide describes how to install and license the Omnidex software on a Linux operating system.
If a previous version of Omnidex has been installed without using RPM, please remove this version of the software before proceeding.
Note that if you have installed Omnidex on databases, it is not necessary to remove the Omnidex indexes on those databases before installing a new version of Omnidex. The existing indexes may be able to be reused.
Download the software from the Downloads tab in this documentation. Be sure to choose correctly between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the software.
Omnidex is available as an RPM file or as a TAR file. Both installations contain the same Omnidex software.
Omnidex should be installed using the 'root' system user. Alternatively, Omnidex can be installed with the sudo command.
Omnidex is most easily installed using the RPM format. While logged on as the 'root' user, use the rpm command to install the software. Note that the exact filename will be different for each version of Omnidex.
# rpm -Uvf omnidex-5.3-07H.el6.linux.x86_64.rpm Preparing packages for installation... omnidex-5.3-07H.el6.linux #
The Omnidex installation performs the following tasks:
To use Omnidex with Java, you must set these environment variables:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="opt/omnidex/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" export CLASSPATH="/opt/omnidex/lib/Omnidex.jar:$CLASSPATH"
To use OdxSQL as a Java client for testing purposes, you also must add the directory containing libjvm.so to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
If you have any difficulty installing Omnidex on your Linux operating system, please contact Technical Support for assistance.
