Install ArcGIS GeoEvent Server

The steps below will guide you through the installation process for ArcGIS GeoEvent Server.

Installation prerequisites include the following:

• Obtain an authorization file for the machine on which you will install GeoEvent Server.
• Verify that your site meets the system requirements.
• Modify your firewall to allow communication on the ports used by GeoEvent Server.
• Log in as the user that installed ArcGIS Server.

1. If you are using the installation media, the content is already located in <media_drive>:/GeoEvent/, therefore you can skip this step and proceed to step 2 below.

   If you downloaded GeoEvent Server package *.tar.gz file, unpack the file:

   For example: $ tar -zxvf ArcGIS_GeoEvent_*.tar.gz

2. (Optional) If you are going to use the GeoEvent Simulator, and since it only runs on Windows, you will need to copy the GeoEventSimulator.exe file to a Windows machine. The file is located in one of the following locations:
   • If you are using the installation media: <media_drive>:/GeoEvent/Support/.
   • If you downloaded the English package file: ./ArcGISGeoEvent/Support/.
   • If you downloaded a non-English package file: ./ArcGISGeoEvent_<LANGUAGE>/Support/
3. Run Setup.sh to install GeoEvent Server:
   $ ./ArcGISGeoEvent/Setup.sh
   For non-English setups: $ ./ArcGISGeoEvent_<LANGUAGE>/Setup.sh

   Note:

   If upgrading from a 10.x version to GeoEvent Server 11.4, your existing GeoEvent Server site configuration will not be automatically upgraded during the installation. You will need to manually import your configuration file after successful completion of the upgrade. To acknowledge that you understand your current configuration will not be automatically upgraded as part of the installation and that you need to manually import it after successful installation, you must specify /ubc yes after ./Setup.sh, as illustrated below. For more information on exporting and importing your site configuration, see Backup and restore your GeoEvent Server site configuration.

   $ ./ArcGISGeoEvent/Setup.sh /ubc yes

4. License GeoEvent Server by running the ArcGIS Server Software Authorization Tool:
   $ <arcgis-server-install-location>/tools/authorizeSoftware
   For example: $ ~/arcgis/server/tools/authorizeSoftware

5. Configure GeoEvent Server to be started with the operating system by following the appropriate instructions below:

   Note:

   When sudo is referenced, you can instead log in as root to run the command:

   $ sudo su root
   OR 
   $ su root
   OR
   $ su
