Running the Sametime Community Server installation program

Run the IBM® Sametime® Community Server installation program.

Before you begin

  • The computer must already have IBM Domino® installed.
  • Close all applications on the computer, including the Domino server administrator and the web browser.
  • Stop all Domino services.

On AIX® or Linux operating systems, verify that:

  • The /bin/hostname command returns the fully qualified domain name of this system.
  • The fully qualified domain name resolves to the IP address of the system and not to the local host. Depending on how domain names are resolved, you may need to change the DNS, make changes to the /etc/hosts file for AIX or Linux.
  • If you are installing using the GUI mode, you must use the full X11 desktop environment.
  • On Linux, library libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 is required.

Procedure

  1. On the computer where you will install the Sametime Community Server, log on as root (AIX or Linux) or the system administrator (Windows).
  2. Navigate to the folder where you extracted the installation package and start the installation program by running one of the following commands:
    • AIX

      ./setupaix.bin

    • Linux

      ./setuplinux.bin

    • Windows

      demo32.exe runs if autorun is on; otherwise, enter this command:

      setupwin32.exe

  3. Select the language and click OK.
  4. Click Next.
  5. Click Yes to install from the Sametime System Console, and then click Next.
  6. Supply values for connecting to the Sametime System Console:
    • Host Name: Provide the fully qualified domain name in the Host Name field for the Sametime System Console.

      The host name was determined when you installed the Sametime System Console. The host name must be the actual host name and not a DNS alias.

    • Use SSL: This option is not selected by default. Do not change the default.
    • HTTPS Port: Leave 9080 as the default value.
    • User ID and Password: Provide the WebSphere® Application Server User ID and password that you created when you installed the Sametime System Console.
  7. Select the Sametime Community Server deployment plan that you will use now, and then click Next.
  8. Review the summary, then click Install to start the installation.
  9. When installation is complete, click Finish.
