Setup on Linux (Offline)

This section covers installing Squirro on a Linux system without internet access. This complements the Setup on Linux section.

Prerequisites

Please refer to the Architecture and Prerequisites sections of Setup on Linux. Both of these sections also apply to an offline installation.

For an offline installation, Squirro will provide you with a tar.gz file which contains all the required RPM files. Make that file available on the server, for example by copying it over using scp.

YUM Repositories

Extract Repository

The tar.gz file above contains a YUM repository that can be used offline. To use this on the server, extract it:

sudo su
mkdir -p /opt/squirro
cd /opt/squirro
tar -xvf /tmp/squirro-xxx.tar.gz

This creates the folder /opt/squirro/repo and populates it with al the RPM files.

Squirro

Create the file /etc/yum.repos.d/squirro.repo.

/etc/yum.repos.d/squirro.repo

[squirro]
name=Squirro
baseurl=file:///opt/squirro/repo/
enabled=1
metadata_expire=300
gpgcheck=0
