Installing EDB*Plus on AlmaLinux 8 or Rocky Linux 8 x86_64 v41

Prerequisites

Before you begin the installation process:

  • Install Java (version 1.8 or later) on your server, if not present.

    sudo dnf -y install java
  • Set up the repository

    Setting up the repository is a one-time task. If you have already set up your repository, you do not need to perform this step.

    To set up the repository, go to EDB repositories and follow the instructions provided there.

  • Address other prerequisites

    # Install the EPEL repository:
    sudo dnf -y install epel-release
    #  Enable additional repositories to resolve dependencies:
    sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools

Install the package

sudo dnf -y install edb-edbplus

Initial configuration

After performing a Linux installation of EDB*Plus, you must set the values of environment variables that allow EDB*Plus to locate your Java installation:

export JAVA_HOME=<path_to_java>
export PATH=<path_to_java>/bin:$PATH
