Installing Seeq Server on Linux

The Seeq installer needs to be run with administrative "root" permissions.  As such, you will need to ensure that the "sudo" package is installed and that the user installing seeq has "sudo" permissions.  The installation of "libssl-dev" is also required prior to executing the Seeq installer.   These packages are present in nearly all Ubuntu distros by default.

To install Seeq Server, download the Linux installer tarball, extract it and run the install script like so:

$ wget https://download.seeq2.com/<download link>
$ tar xvf seeq-server-<version>-64bit-linux.tar.gz
$ sudo ./seeq-server-installer/install -g /var/opt/seeq -u seeq

This will install the Seeq Server binaries to /opt/seeq/seeq-server, Seeq's data will be stored in /var/opt/seeq, a new user called seeq will be created, and a service (aka daemon) to run Seeq Server in the background called seeq will also be registered. NOTE: At the tail end of the installation, Seeq installs some packages from apt on Ubuntu or dnf/yum on RHEL, and therefore the need to have internet access on the target server or a local mirror that can be configured on the instance.

In order to make Seeq accessible via public hostname for installation on AWS EC2 set seeq hostname to AWS public hostname. 

$ seeq config set Network/Hostname your-host-name

Once the install script is finished and optional hostname setting is performed, start up Seeq Server like so:

$ sudo seeq service enable
$ sudo systemctl start seeq

Once you create an account on your new Seeq Server, request and install a license to move forward.
