Installing Traverse (On Premise)

Before you begin installing Traverse, make sure that there are no web servers or databases operating on the server. This creates port conflicts that might prevent Traverse from starting.

Traverse is distributed as a single self-extracting executable file (traverse-x.y.z-windows.exe) for Windows platforms, and a compressed archive (tar.gz) file called traverse-x.y.z-OS.tar.gz for UNIX platforms.

In addition to the installation file, you need a license key to use Traverse. This can be either a limited-time trial key, or a permanent key based on the terms of your purchase.

Contents of <TRAVERSE_HOME>

The following table lists the contents of the <TRAVERSE_HOME> directory:

Directory	Description
`apps/`	Supporting applications required for Traverse.
`bin/`	Utility software for Traverse components.
`database/`	Runtime database for tests and provisioning.
`etc/`	Configuration files and startup scripts.
`lib/`	Component libraries.
`logs/`	Error and debug log files.
`plugin/`	User custom actions and monitors.
`utils/`	Useful utility tools.
`webapp/`	The Web Application.

Note: References to <TRAVERSE_HOME> indicate the top-level home directory into which you installed Traverse. By default, this is \Program Files (x86)\Traverse on Windows and /usr/local/traverse on UNIX.

Installing Traverse on Windows

Double-click traverse-x.y.z-windows.exe.
Follow the instructions in the Traverse installation program.
When the installation is complete, you must reboot the server before you can use Traverse.

Installing Traverse on UNIX Platforms

Change to a temporary directory with at least 100 MB of disk space:

cd /tmp

Copy the downloaded Traverse archive to the temporary directory:

cp /download/dir/traverse-x.y.z-platform.tar.gz

Extract the software package.
Note: (Solaris only) Use the GNU version of tar instead of the native tar utility in the following command.

gunzip -c traverse-x.y.z-platform.tar.gz | tar xpf -

Change to the directory containing the extracted files:

cd traverse-x.ysu root

If you need to make any changes to the software license key, make the changes before executing the installation script. If the terms of your license change—for example, a change in the expiration date or number of devices—Kaseya Support provides you with a new license file. Save the new key, overwriting any existing key:

traverse-x.y/etc/licenseKey.xml

As root, execute the installation script:

su root

sh ./install.sh
