Installation

Installing and setting up INDICA is very easy. INDICA comes pre-packaged with almost everything it needs to be installed. For ease of use, an installation script is provided. Some manual steps need to be taken before the installation script can be used.

1. Gain SSH access to the target machine.

   This can be done with command-line SSH, PuTTY, or equivalent.
2. Elevate your rights to root-level access.

   This can be done using the command sudo su and typing in the password.
3. Create the appliance directory called “net” in the root of the filesystem “/”

   Use the command mkdir /net
4. Navigate to the newly created directory.

   Use the command cd /net to do this.
5. Transfer the INDICA .tar.gz file to this directory.

   This can be done by transferring with scp, winSCP, or the download link provided by INDICA.

   Make sure the file is in /net.
6. Extract the downloaded package using “tar -zxvf [filename]”.
7. Run the installation script: “/net/bin/install.sh”.

The install script will ask some questions and guide you through the installation.
