Step C: Install the AWS Elemental Software

These steps must be performed on each node where you are installing AWS Elemental software, either directly at the machine or from your workstation via SSH.

Make sure that you use the .run file that corresponds to the .iso file that you used to set up the operating system on the node.

To install the software

1. At the Linux command line, log in with the elemental user credentials.

2. Run the installer as follows. Use the actual file name of your .run file, rather than the example below.

   [elemental@hostname ~]$ sudo sh ./elemental_production_delta_2.3.n.nnnnn.run -l -z -t

3. You are prompted as described in the table below.

   Prompt	Action
   Do you agree to these terms?	This prompt appears after you have paged through the EULA (End User License Agreement). Enter Yes or No. (You must enter Yes to continue.)
   Enter this server’s Hostname	Type the hostname of this hardware unit. For example, delta-01
   Is eth0 a management interface?	Type Yes.
   Does eth0 use DHCP to get its IP address?	Type Yes to use DHCP or type No to enter a static IP address. If you plan to bond eth0 and eth1 (which you will set up in a later phase), we recommend that you enter a static IP address and set up eth0, eth1, and bond0 all on the same subnet.
   Enter eth0's IP address:	If you chose static, type the IP address for this hardware unit.
   Enter eth0's NETMASK:	If you chose static, type the netmask for this hardware unit.
   Enter eth0's Gateway (or type none):	If you chose static, type none or type the gateway for this hardware unit.
   Keep this configured nameserver: 10.6.16.10?	Skip; you set up a nameserver in the next phase of configuration.
   Would you like to configure eth1?	Type No; you can configure eth1 in the next phase of the configuration.
   The firewall for this system is currently disabled. Would you like to enable it?	Skip; you set up the firewall in the next phase of configuration.
   Would you like to start the Elemental service now?	Type Yes.

   Then the software is installed and this message appears:

   Installation and configuration complete!
   Please open a web browser and point it to http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to get to the web interface.
   Enjoy!

4. Start a web browser and start the AWS Elemental Delta web interface by typing the following:

   http://<hostname>

   Make sure the web interface displays.
