Installing Xpress Insight on Linux

FICO Xpress Insight installation requires a server and a worker. Perform both installation steps.

To install Xpress Insight on Linux, perform the following steps. If you are not root user then you will need to prefix each command with sudo to allow system-level access:

Install Xpress Insight 5 Server

The worker can be installed on the same machine as the server or can be a remote worker.

You will need an installation of Xpress, following the instructions here , before installing Xpress Insight 5 Worker. You can source the xpvars.sh script into your Bash shell, located in the Xpress bin directory, to setup the Xpress environment variables for the Insight 5 Worker installer to pick up.Alternatively,you can set the path to Xpress after Insight 5 Worker installation in the Worker environment configuration file, see Configuring Xpress Insight 5 in the Xpress Insight 5 Administrator Guide for more information.

  1. Run the FICO® Xpress Insight installer using the RPM Package Manager (RPM). Enter the following command: 
    rpm --install fico-xpress-insight-server-[version].x86_64.rpm
    Note: The exact version details will be provided by your FICO representative.
  2. After successful installation, start the service with the following command: 
    systemctl start fico-xpress-insight-server
    The server runs as a service named fico-xpress-insight-server. By default, the server creates a log file at /var/log/fico-xpress-insight-server/insight-server.log.
    Note: If you see the following error, this indicates that you do not have a supported version of Java installed:

    java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: org/springframework/boot/loader/launch/PropertiesLauncher has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 61.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 55.0

    Make sure your system satisfies all of the prerequisites listed in Prerequisites.
  3. Complete any changes to the default configuration after a new installation before starting the worker. To configure logging and other properties, see Configuring Xpress Insight 5 in the Xpress Insight 5 Administrator Guide for more information.

Install Xpress Insight 5 Worker

The worker can be installed on the same machine as the server or can be a remote worker.

  1. Run the FICO® Xpress Insight installer using the RPM Package Manager (RPM). Enter the following command: 
    rpm --install fico-xpress-insight-worker-[version].x86_64.rpm
    Note: The exact version details will be provided by your FICO representative.
  2. After successful installation, start the service with the following command: 
    systemctl start fico-xpress-insight-worker
    The server will run as a service named fico-xpress-insight-worker. By default, the worker will create a log file at /var/log/fico-xpress-insight-worker/insight-worker.log. To configure logging and other properties, see Configuring Xpress Insight 5 in the Xpress Insight 5 Administrator Guide.
    You may also need to change the permissions on the Xpress installation directory so the Insight 5 Worker can access and execute the Xpress files. Insight 5 Worker is installed with a service user and group, called xpress, so ensure that this user has read and execute access to the directory, for example: 
    chgrp xpress $XPRESSDIR 

chmod g+rx $XPRESSDIR
