AxxonData installation

To install AxxonData, do the following:

1. Download the distribution archive and unpack it into any folder.

2. The default access protocol is HTTPS, which requires manual installation of certificates on client computers in local cloud. If it is necessary to switch to HTTP, run the following command:
   

   sudo ./http_https_switcher.sh HTTP

   HTTP is an insecure protocol that does not require a certificate to be installed. To switch back to HTTPS, run the following command:
   

   sudo ./http_https_switcher.sh HTTPS

   Attention!

   If you install AxxonData using the HTTPS access protocol, then it will not be possible to upgrade it to HTTP later.

   HTTP protocol is available starting from Axxon One 1.9.

3. In the terminal, execute the command to grant execution rights to the scripts (load.sh, once.sh, run.sh, stop.sh).

   sudo chmod +x *.sh

4. Run the once.sh script.

   sudo ./once.sh

5. Run the load.sh script.

   sudo ./load.sh

6. Create the Docker services.

   sudo ./run.sh

7. Check the services status.

   sudo docker service ls

   In the REPLICAS column, all values should be displayed as 1/1.
   

8. Add the vmscloud.local domain to the /etc/hosts file.

9. Install the root certificate. The certificate should be in PEM format with a .crt extension.
   

   $ mkdir /usr/share/ca-certificates/extra
   $ cp rootCA.pem /usr/share/ca-certificates/extra/rootCA.crt
   $ dpkg-reconfigure ca-certificates

   If you use Firefox, then you should add the rootCA certificate to the Firefox Certificates yourself.

10. Change the AxxonData address in the Axxon One configuration:

    1. Stop the Server.
    2. In the infra.dictionar file, replace the address of the CLOUD_URL parameter with vmscloud.local. If Axxon One Server is installed on Linux, the file will be located in the /opt/AxxonSoft/AxxonOne/Dictionary.local directory. If Axxon One Server is installed on Windows, the file will be located in the C:\Program Files\AxxonSoft\AxxonOne\Dictionary.local directory. 
       
    3. Start the Server.
11. On the Axxon One Server, enter the address of the computer on which AxxonData is installed in the hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc or /etc/hosts). For example, 192.168.11.12 vmscloud.local. If AxxonData is installed on the same PC with Axxon One Server, you can skip this step.

AxxonData will be available at vmscloud.local. By default, 2 test users are available:

1. Admin1/admin1password.
2. Admin2/admin2password.
