Initializing help system before first use

Prerequisites

Xpress Insight Server requires that some software be installed on your Linux system prior to installation.
The following must be installed:
  • Oracle Java 8 64-bit
  • PostgreSQL 9.5

    Xpress Insight Server only supports running against a database on the same machine.

It is recommended to set the following environment variables before installation:
  • XPRESSDIR to point to the Xpress directory. The Xpress installer outputs instructions on how to set related environment variables.
  • JAVA_HOME set to point to your Java installation.
  • If a custom data directory is used for PostgreSQL then set the PGDATA environment variable to point to this directory.
