Install ArcGIS Data Store

Once you have an ArcGIS Server site that you want to use for your portal's hosting server, install ArcGIS Data Store.

Install ArcGIS Data Store

Run the ArcGIS Data Store installation wizard and complete the steps in the configuration web application to set up a primary machine for a data store and register it with ArcGIS Server. Alternatively, you can run the installation from a command prompt.

Verify that your computer meets the minimum system requirements for ArcGIS Data Store, and then follow the instructions in the appropriate section for the method you want to use for installation.

Run the installation wizard

Run the ArcGIS Data Store installation wizard for an interactive installation experience.

1. Log in to your machine as a user with administrative privileges. You cannot install ArcGIS Data Store as a root user.
2. Run the setup program from the ArcGIS Data Store download folder or setup media. The setup program begins by checking the prerequisites that must be met to successfully set up and use ArcGIS Data Store. If your system does not meet any of the prerequisites, follow the instructions in the dialog box to correct any issues.
3. If all prerequisites are met, the Introduction dialog box displays. Click Next to proceed.
4. On the License dialog box, read the license agreement. If you accept the terms, click the I accept the license agreement button and click Next to proceed; otherwise, exit the setup by clicking Cancel.
5. On the Choose Install Folder dialog box, specify the installation location. Click Next to continue.
6. Review the summary information and click Install to begin the installation.
7. When completed, click Done to exit the wizard.

Follow postinstallation instructions to configure ArcGIS Data Store to start with the operating system.

Run from terminal

Follow these steps to install ArcGIS Data Store from a command prompt:

1. Log in to your machine as a user with administrative privileges. You cannot install ArcGIS Data Store as a root user.
2. Before beginning the installation, read the license agreement located at <CD_ROOT or untar directory>/Documentation/EULA.pdf and accept the terms.
3. Run the setup silently at the prompt. See sample syntax below:

   <CD_ROOT or untar directory>/Setup -m silent -l yes

   Command line options:

   Options	Descriptions
   -m; --mode MODE	Optional. Defaults to GUI. MODE is one of the following: silent or gui.
   -l; --license-agreement CHOICE	Required for silent mode. CHOICE is either Yes or No. Yes indicates that you have read and agreed to the Esri License Agreement (E204, E300). Visit esri.com/legal/software-license.html to read the license agreement.
   -d; --directory DIRECTORY	Optional. By default, ArcGIS Data Store will be installed in the user's $HOME directory. DIRECTORY specifies a different installation directory. The path /arcgis/datastore will be appended to the installation directory.
   -v; --verbose	Installer runs in verbose mode.
   -h; --help	Displays command line help and exits.
   -e; --examples	Displays usage examples of these options and exits.

Follow postinstallation instructions to configure ArcGIS Data Store to start with the operating system.

Postinstallation configuration

If you want ArcGIS Data Store to start with the operating system, complete the steps specific to your operating system.

Operating systems that support systemd

If your operating system supports the use of systemd to bootstrap and manage processes (for example, if you are using Red Hat 7.x), follow these steps to configure ArcGIS Data Store to start with the operating system.

1. Within a command shell, switch to root user.
2. Copy <ArcGIS Data Store installation directory>/framework/etc/scripts/arcgisdatastore.service to /etc/systemd/system.

   This file is installed with ArcGIS 10.4.1 Data Store.

3. Still as root user, run the following command to automatically create the links in /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants:

   # systemctl enable arcgisdatastore.service

4. To verify that the systemd service is properly configured, restart the service and check its status.

   # systemctl stop arcgisdatastore.service
   # systemctl start arcgisdatastore.service
   # systemctl status arcgisdatastore.service

5. End the root user session.
6. Reboot the operating system and verify that ArcGIS Data Store restarts properly.

Operating systems that support SysV

If your operating system supports the use of SysV to bootstrap and manage processes, follow these steps to configure ArcGIS Data Store to start with the operating system.

1. Within a command shell, switch to root user.
2. Copy <ArcGIS Data Store installation directory>/framework/etc/scripts/arcgisdatastore shell script to the appropriate supported Linux distribution-based locations provided below:
   • RHEL: /etc/rc.d/init.d/
   • SUSE: /etc/init.d/
3. Change directory to the applicable init.d folder and check the arcgisdatastore script to make sure that root has at least read and execute permissions.
4. Edit the arcgisdatastore script as follows:
   1. Update the datastorehome variable to the ArcGIS Data Store installation directory, for example, /home/username/arcgis/datastore.
   2. For RHEL only, add the line below just before # Description: ArcGIS Data Store Service:

      # chkconfig: 35 99 01

   3. Save the edits to the arcgisdatastore script.
5. Still as root user, run the following command to automatically create the links in /etc/rc*.d with the appropriate run levels:
   • RHEL:

     $ chkconfig --add arcgisdatastore
     $ chkconfig arcgisdatastore on

   • SUSE:

     $ insserv arcgisdatastore
     $ chkconfig arcgisdatastore on

6. End the root user session.
7. Reboot the operating system and verify that ArcGIS Data Store restarts properly.

Next step

After you install ArcGIS Data Store, you can create a data store.
