11.
8 following the instructions in the section
PostgreSQL for RHEL .
- Download and extract the tar archive containing the installer. (This example demonstrates installation for Xpress Insight 4.54; the tar file may have a slightly different name if you are using a different version on Insight.)
tar xf xpress-insight-server-4.54-linuxrhel6_x86_64_setup.tar
- As root user, or using sudo, start the Xpress Insight Server installation process:
cd xpress-insight-server-4.54-linuxrhel6_x86_64_setup
./install.sh
After script startup, you are prompted to answer a series of questions to set up the installation.

- The installer will search the environment variable JAVA_HOME for a compatible version of Java. If the environment variable is not set or the version of Java does not match that required then you will be prompted for the path to Java. You should enter the base directory where Java is installed, without the bin directory. If you have installed OpenJDK using the RHEL package manager then the directory should be specified as /usr.
When you have specified a directory, the installer will verify the version of Java found and prompt again if it is not a compatible version.
- Although FICO® Xpress is not required to be installed on the same machine as Xpress Insight Server, the installer will ask for the location of FICO® Xpress. If you do not have FICO® Xpress installed on this system, or if you want to install Xpress Insight Server into a separate directory, then specify the path you will use. If the XPRESSDIR environment variable is set, it will be used as the default value for the path.
- The installer extracts the program files into the specified directory, creates an xpress user and xpress group on the system, if they don't already exist, and changes the ownership of the Xpress Insight program directory to the new xpress user and group.
- You can choose to create a new, or upgrade an existing, Xpress Insight database.
- You can skip this step by selecting [n].
- If you select [y], the installer searches for an existing database.
If no database is detected, it creates a new one. Any existing database is archived—The installation script generates a compressed PostgreSQL formatted dump file from the existing database and stores it in a location you must select, before upgrading the schema.
- After the Xpress Insight Server is installed, you are prompted to select whether you want the service to start up. If you choose not to, the installer provides information on how to start the service manually.
Note You can exit the installation process at any time by pressing Ctrl-C.
