For information about accessing System Console after installation, see Setting up BIRT iHub.
How to run the System Console installation script
1 Download the installation package, SystemConsole.tar.gz, from the software distribution site.
2 Create a new folder into which to extract the files that SystemConsole.tar.gz contains, such as /opt/actuate, if you have not already done so.
3 Unbundle the tar.gz file into /opt/actuate. Unbundling the tar file creates the installation directory, /opt/actuate/SystemConsole.
4 Navigate to /opt/actuate/SystemConsole/License
5 Open and read the file, license.txt. You can specify whether you agree to the license terms when you edit the acinstall.properties file, as described in step 7, or when you run the install script, as described in step 8.
6 Navigate to /opt/actuate/SystemConsole.
7 Using a text editor, open the acinstall.properties file, as shown in Listing 2‑1, and perform the following tasks:
1 For ac.login, specify the machine and account name for the machine onto which you are installing System Console. For ac.password, specify the account name password.
2 Modify the ac.homedir property to specify the full installation directory path if you do not run the install script, install.sh, from the installation directory.
3 Leave ac.downloadonly set to false.
4 For ac.acceptlicense, accept the default value of prompt for the install script to prompt you for whether you accept the software license terms when you run the script. Alternatively, specify y for yes, to accept the software license terms. You must agree to the license terms to install System Console.
5 Save and close the file.

# Please use forward slashes for the source network path on
# Windows OS, for example 'source'=//fs/installDir/iHub

# The license agreement (license.txt) file is located in the
# ./License directory
# The default value of the ac.acceptlicense parameter is set to
# 'prompt', which requires the user to read the license
# agreement before accepting it
# Before starting a network/silent install, read the
# license.txt file and change the value of the ac.acceptlicense
# parameter to 'y' to confirm that you agree to the terms of
# the license agreement
# ac.acceptlicense=prompt
ac.acceptlicense=y

8 Execute the install.sh script using the following command:
sh ./install.sh
When you run the installation script, you see the message “Unable to locate tools.jar.” You can safely ignore this message.
The script displays messages similar to those shown in Listing 2‑2.
