Note: The Linux installer either needs internet access to enable installation of Pyramid, or it needs access to offline Linux repos to download and install dependencies. This includes a local repo for installing R and downloading certain libraries for Python and R.

Server Installation

The full installer offers multi-server configurations and custom database repository options.

  1. Download the bits from Pyramid's customer portal.
  2. Launch the installer with administrative rights ("sudo") on the a host machine (virtual or physical). See details here.
  3. Choose a directory location for the product installation after accepting the EULA (approx 2.5Gb for the entire installation)
  4. Choose a data directory location. (An SSD is highly recommended.)
  5. Select to install the entire product on a single machine or to choose different components to install (click here for multi-server deployments).
  6. Choose where to deploy the database repository (PostgreSQL, Oracle, or MS SQL Server).
  7. Select whether to just use the internal web server engine or to use a third-party web server like Microsoft IIS.
  8. Click Next to launch the installation
  9. At the last stage you are prompted to provide a username and password for the first user.
    • If a multi-server setup is chosen, the user will only be prompted to provide the first-user credentials when the system recognizes that the minimum requisite servers have been installed on the network. This is the Web Server, Run Time Engine, and Router.
  10. After some basic system initializations, the installation is completed.
  11. Go to http://myserver:8181 on a browser and login with the credentials created at step #9.
