How to Download and Install Ignite on UNIX/Linux

Ignite versions 8.0 and higher have a binary executable installer for UNIX/Linux.

 

Download

  1. Click on the download link/button and save the install tar file on your machine.
     
  2. If you need to transfer the install file to a UNIX or Linux server, make sure you do this in binary mode.  Most ftp transfer utilities transfer ".tar" files in binary mode by default.

  

Install

  1. Untar the downloaded file and an ignite_pi_<version> directory will be created, e.g. ignite_pi_8_0_85.
  2. Execute the <version>_installer.sh script and it will prompt for any needed information, e.g. installation directory.

 

Upgrade

If you are upgrading from a previous version of Ignite, see KB Article 1511.
