Elixir Repertoire Server is available for download as either .zip, or .tar.gz files. The software is the same regardless of download package, so obtain whichever flavor is most convenient for the platform you are running on. Once it is downloaded, unpack the archive to a suitable location on your machine. It should all unpack into a single directory named RepertoireServer. You must have Java 5 or later installed on your system before running the server.
A license key is required before you are able to run the server. An evaluation license is available when you download the evaluation copy of our server. A registered user license will be sent to you once you have purchased the product. You will need a specific license to enable Report, Dashboard and ETL features - the evaluation license provides all three for a limited time period. Please contact Elixir Sales if you need further assistance in this area.
The license key is a text file which you can deploy by copying the license key to the home directory of the user who will be running the server.
If you are using a Unix-based machine, it is advisable to create
a new account for running the server. This provides more security as
it limits the files that the server can access. Therefore, on a Unix-based machine,
if you create a new account repertoire you will put the
license text file in /home/repertoire. You should never run the
server as root.
