Install TEXTML Server

This procedure describes how to install TEXTML Server on Linux.

When you install TEXTML Server, you also create a TEXTML Server instance. The TEXTML Server instance is the service that runs the TEXTML Server software.

The name of the service will be as follows:

textml.<instance_name>

For example, if the instance name is ts01, the service name will be:

textml.ts01

And the command to start TEXTML Server will be:

/sbin/service textml.ts01 start

This procedure assumes that the .bin installation file was copied to the Linux machine, in the /root folder.

Note: You must perform this procedure as user root.

To install TEXTML Server:

Open a command-line interface to the Linux machine as user root, using a secure shell client such as PuTTY.
Run the following command to install bzip2 and Perl:
```
yum install bzip2 perl
```
Navigate to the /root folder and run the following command:
```
sh <installer_name>
```
For example:
```
sh setuptextmlserver-gcc[x.x]-Linux-x86_64-[version].bin
```
The following message is displayed:
```
Textmlserver installation
(I)nstallation (default) or files (E)xtract only? (I/e)
```
Press Enter to launch the installation.
The following message is displayed:
```
Installation files will be extracted in: /tmp/25005/
```
Note: The extraction location (tmp/25005 in the example above) is a temporary folder labeled with a random numerical string.
Wait while the files are extracted.
When the extraction is completed, the following prompt is displayed:
```
(F)ull Installation (default) or (C)ustomized Installation (F/c) 
```
For the IXIASOFT CCMS, you only need the following components:
- TEXTML Server
- Clients
- Administration Console
  Note: Install the console only if you have a graphic interface running on the Linux server; if you plan to access TEXTML Server from a console located on another machine, you do not need to install the Administration Console now.
Type C (for customized) and press Enter.
The following message is displayed:
```

Press Enter.
The following message is displayed:
```
