Install censhare Service Client

Install censhare Service Client on Windows, macOS and headless on Linux. 

Prerequisites

  • censhare Service Client. We recommend a Service client on Linux.

  • create censhare user, e.g.: service-client (as "System user")

  • latest java version

  • latest ImageService tools installed (Only available for RedHat-based Linux, for Office Previews only for RedHat 7 based Linux)

Supported platforms:

  • latest release of RHEL, SLES, macOS and Windows

Install on Windows

  1. Unzip censhare Service-Client.
  2. Start censhare Service-Client.exe and if required enter your hostname and host URL and click OK.
  3. Enter User, Password, activate Log on automatically and log on.
  4. Set up the correct path to your ImageService tools by editing File|Preferences|General on the censhare Service Client.

Install on macOS 

  1. Open censhare Service-Client, drag & drop censhare Service-Client.app to /Applications/  and execute it. If required, enter your hostname and host URL and click OK.
  2. Enter User, Password, and click Log on automatically and log in.
  3. Set up the path to your ImageService tools by editing File|Preferences|General on the censhare Service Client.

Install on Linux

  1. Prepare installation with RPM
  • Install censhare Service-Client

    XML
    yum install --enablerepo="censhare*" censhare-Service-Client

     

  • Important! If you use a Service Client with multiple network interfaces, you need to adjust the serviceclient.sh start script:

    vi /opt/corpus/service-client/serviceclient.sh

    under:

    XML
     # Set JVM properties 
    
    
    JAVA_PROPERTIES="$JAVA_PROPERTIES -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=
                <IP address of service client host
                >
              "  


    Replace <IP address of service client host> with either the IP or the hostname of you service client (the one the app server should connect to).

  • Follow the setup by running /opt/corpus/service-client/serviceclient.sh setup as user corpus.   

  • Set up service client configurations:

    XML

    === Service-Client auto setup ===

  • Start the Service Client:

    XML
    sudo systemctl start censhare.serviceclient
  • Enable Service Client to start Service Client automatically after a server restart

    CODE
    sudo systemctl enable censhare.serviceclient
  • Check log file for censhare Service Client >=5.5:

    XML
    { # as corpus_user@application_host
    less ~/service-client/logs/service-client-0.0.log
    }
  • If everything is ok, the log should look like this:
