This page presents the procedure to install, setup and start the Ophidia IO Server from sources and binary packages.
Note
After the installation, to enable the support for the IO server inside the Ophidia platform, you need to enable some configuration options in the framework and add the instance to the OphidiaDB.
Installation from source can be used on most Linux distros (i.e. CentOS6, CentOS7 and Ubuntu 14). Before proceeding with the following steps, check that you have all the pre-requisites installed. In particular MySQL devel libraries are required.
As ophidia user create a folder to download and build Ophidia source code.
mkdir /usr/local/ophidia/src
Download Ophidia IO Server release from https://github.com/OphidiaBigData/ophidia-io-server/releases. Alternatively you can get the latest development version from the git repository:
git clone https://github.com/OphidiaBigData/ophidia-io-server
Install the required dependencies:
For example on CentOS
sudo yum install bison\* flex\*
on Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install bison flex libfl-dev libfl-dev libbison-dev
Build and install Ophidia IO Server
On CentOS or Ubuntu
cd /usr/local/ophidia/src/ophidia-io-server
./bootstrap
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ophidia/oph-cluster/oph-io-server
make
make install
Then, if not already available, create the following folders
mkdir -p /usr/local/ophidia/oph-cluster/oph-io-server/data1/var
mkdir -p /usr/local/ophidia/oph-cluster/oph-io-server/data1/log
To install the Ophidia IO Server package on CentOS7 download the ophidia-io-server rpm from https://download.ophidia.cmcc.it/rpm/1.2/ and run
sudo yum install ophidia-io-server-1.2*.x86_64.rpm
Change owner of the installation folders
sudo chown -R ophidia:ophidia /usr/local/ophidia
To install the Ophidia IO Server package on Ubuntu 14 download the ophidia-io-server deb from https://download.ophidia.cmcc.it/deb/1.2/ and run
sudo dpkg -i ophidia-io-server_1.2.*_amd64.deb
Change owner of the installation folders
sudo chown -R ophidia:ophidia /usr/local/ophidia
If you need to change the default configuration file oph_ioserver.conf, see the Ophidia IO Server configuration page for more details.
Start the Ophidia IO Server as Ophidia user:
su - ophidia
/usr/local/ophidia/oph-cluster/oph-io-server/bin/oph_io_server -i 1 > /dev/null 2>&1 &
To avoid typing the whole executable path, you may add it to the PATH environmental variable with:
export PATH="/usr/local/ophidia/oph-cluster/oph-io-server/bin:$PATH"
