      ZeroLock® Management Console Set-Up

      How to download and install the ZeroLock Management Console (ZMC)

      Before installation, it is important that you review the Prerequisites for the ZeroLock Management Console.

       

      Note: Ensure that the User launching the ZMC containers is not root but is part of the docker group, allowing the User to launch without sudo access.

       

      Set-Up

      The ZeroLock Management Console (ZMC) ships as a tgz (compressed tar) file, named zerolock-server-<version number>.tgz.  Where the <version number> is the server version number.

      1. The ZMC should run as a regular (non-root) user impacting where the ZMC files will be installed.  We recommend installing the ZMC in the distribution’s default user home directory (e.g., /home/ubuntu, /home/ec2-user, etc.), or else in the home directory of a user created specifically to run ZMC (e.g., /home/zerolock).
      2. Move the ZMC tgz file to the home directory.

      3.  Extract the file: tar xzf zerolock-server-<version number>.tgz, to create a subdirectory zerolock-server-<version number>.

      4.  Change to the new directory: cd zerolock-server-<version number>.

      5.    Run the installer: bash install-zerolock-server.sh.  Command Line Options may be found further in this document.

      6.    Enter y to confirm the continuation of the installation.

      7.    The newly installed ZMC is symlinked: zerolock-server -> zerolock-server-<version number> to identify the latest installation’s subdirectory.
