Running the installation script

The vaisala-iris-rda-install.sh script automatically performs all the processes the make the system ready to run. For example, the script installs the requested products with their dependencies, creates directories, and configures paths and users.

The script also sets up a local repository that is required for installing upgrade packages via DNF.

  1. Change to the directory where the IRIS/RDA installation media is mounted.

    For example, if the mounting point is /run/media/root/irisrda, type:

    # cd /run/media/root/irisrda
  2. Run the installation script with desired parameters by typing: 
    ./vaisala-iris-rda-install.sh <parameter>

    , where <parameter> can be any of the following:

    • --help: Prints out the applicable parameters.
    • --iris: Installs IRIS on a running system (with all dependencies, including common package).
    • --rcp8: Installs RCP8 on a running system (with all dependencies, including common and rda packages).
    • --rvp9: Installs RVP9 on running system (with all dependencies, including common and rda packages).
    • --rvp10: Installs RVP10 on a running system (with all dependencies, including common and rda packages).
      • --rvp9 and --rvp10 options cannot be used at the same machine.

    • --converter "<converter_name> <converter_name> <converter_name> ...": Installs data-converters-<converter_name> on running system (with all dependencies, including common package). Accepts converter list inside quotes as argument.

      The option --help shows all converter names that can be installed with the script.

    • --online: provides access to remote repositories that is set up on system.
    • --offline: forces the script to use the repositories provided by the ISO image. No access to remote repositories.
    • --with-os: If you want to point the external DVD ISO for dependencies that come from AppStream and BaseOS, provide the mount path of the Almalinux DVD. Providing --os-media may be useful if third party dependencies are not already installed on your system and installation image does not include those dependencies when you are running the offline installation.
  3. Reboot the system to apply changes and to run enabled services: 
    reboot
