Standard installation

This topic provides guidance on installing Anaconda Server and verifying your installation.

To successfully install Anaconda Server, you must have already prepared your environment according to the Standard environment preparation topic.

Installing Anaconda Server

Download your installer by running the following command:
```
# Replace <INSTALLER_LOCATION> with the provided installer URL
curl -O <INSTALLER_LOCATION>
```
If you do not have root access, you must add yourself to the docker group by running the following command before you install:
# Replace <USERNAME> with your Anaconda username usermod -a -G docker <USERNAME>

Run one of the following installation commands. Choose the command that corresponds with your setup.

# Replace <INSTALLER> with the installer you just downloaded
# Replace <FQDN> with the fully qualified domain name of your Anaconda Server instance
sudo bash <INSTALLER> --keep -- --domain <FQDN> --default-user anaconda 2>&1 | tee as.install.output

# Replace <INSTALLER> with the installer you just downloaded
# Replace <FQDN> with the fully qualified domain name of your Anaconda Server instance
sudo bash <INSTALLER> --keep -- --domain <FQDN> --default-user anaconda 2>&1 | tee as.install.output

If you are using TLS/SSL certificates, run this command to install Anaconda Server:

# Replace <INSTALLER> with the installer you just downloaded
# Replace <FQDN> with the fully qualified domain name of your Anaconda Server instance
# Replace <PATH_TO_CERT> with the path to your TLS/SSL cert
# Replace <PATH_TO_KEY> with the path to your TLS/SSL key
sudo bash <INSTALLER> --keep -- --domain <FQDN> --tls-cert <PATH_TO_CERT> --tls-key <PATH_TO_KEY> --default-user anaconda 2>&1 | tee as.install.output

To include Grafana monitoring dashboards in your installation of Anaconda Server, add the following argument to your installation command:

--grafana-monitor-stack

For example:

sudo bash <INSTALLER> --keep -- --domain <FQDN> --grafana-monitor-stack --default-user anaconda 2>&1 | tee as.install.output

You must be using Postgres version 9.6 or later and Redis version 6.0 or later.

# Replace <INSTALLER> with the installer file you just downloaded
# Replace <FQDN> with the fully qualified domain name of your Anaconda Server instance
# Replace <PATH_TO_CERT> with the path to your TLS/SSL cert
# Replace <PATH_TO_KEY> with the path to your TLS/SSL key
# Replace <EXTERNAL_PS/RD_INSTANCE_IP4> with your external instance IP4 address (in both locations)
# Replace <ASSIGNED_PORT> with the port used for communication
# Replace <POSTGRES_USERID> with your postgres user ID
# Replace <POSTGRES_PASSWORD> with your postgres password
chmod +x <INSTALLER>
bash <INSTALLER> --keep -- --domain <FQDN> --tls-cert <PATH_TO_CERT> --tls-key <PATH_TO_KEY> -e redis://<EXTERNAL_PS/RD_INSTANCE_IP4> -h <EXTERNAL_PS/RD_INSTANCE_IP4> -p <ASSIGNED_PORT> -u <POSTGRES_USERID> -pw <POSTGRES_PASSWORD> --default-user anaconda -y 2>&1 | tee as.install.output

The installation process creates two distinct user profiles: one for administrating Anaconda Server and one for administrating Keycloak. Login credentials for these profiles are shown during the installer output. Use these credentials for your initial login, and update them as soon as possible.

The installer directory contains both the installation script (install.sh) and the docker-compose.yml file, which defines how the Anaconda Server services are run.

By default, /opt/anaconda/repo is the file path for the installation folder. You can either create the folder manually by assigning write access to the current user, or use the -b (--base-install-dir) parameter to specify the folder for your installation.

Never delete the directory containing the docker-compose.yml and .env files.

Verifying your installation

Services are one-to-one to containers. Therefore, verifying that all major containers are up and not restarting or failing is a good first step.

Return to your terminal and run the following command:
```
docker ps
```
You should see output similar to the following:
Verify that the following containers appear with a STATUS of Up (not stuck in a restart loop) in the output:
```
repo_api
repo_worker
repo_dispatcher
proxy
nginx_proxy
keycloak
redis
postgres
```
These containers should always be running. However, you might see additional containers, depending on the phase of installation or your initial configuration choices:
loki grafana promtail prometheus node_exporter redis-exporter postgres-exporter
Open a browser and navigate to the domain that you supplied when executing the installer. If you are able to successfully authenticate and are asked for a license, Package Security Manager has installed successfully.

Advanced options

Further installation options can be seen by running the following command:

# Replace <INSTALLER> with your installer file
./<INSTALLER>/install.sh --help

This will present you with the following list of possible arguments:
