1. You must register for a account, generate a 30 day trial license and download the tomcat bundle from the  web site.
   
   1. Download the tomcat bundle to your local machine
   2. Generate a 30-day trial license. You will receive an email with a link to activate your account. Click the link in the email and follow the prompts.
2. Ensure that you do not have another server running on ports 8443 or 8983.
3. Unpack the frevvo.zip file to the location of your choice: e.g. /Users/me/frevvo. We'll refer to this directory below as <frevvo-home>.
4. Ensure that the scripts are executable: chmod 755 <frevvo-home>/tomcat/bin/*.sh
5. Navigate to <frevvo-home>/solr/bin. Run this command to make the solr startup file executable:
   chmod +x solr
6. Navigate back to the solr directory
   cd .. 
7. Start the Insight server by typing:
   bin/solr start - this starts the Insight server in the background.
8. Browse http:<your server:port>/solr to verify the Insight server is running. The default values for the server and port are localhost:8983. Change them to point to the server and port where the Insight server is running if it is different from the default values. You will see the Insight server (Solr) dashboard with the current status:
   
   
   
   
9. Start : <frevvo-home>/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh run. This starts tomcat on port 8443 with pre-configured.
10. In your browser, go to https://<server-name>:8443/frevvo/web.

11. Install your License Key

12. A current license is required. If frevvo does not accept your license after multiple attempts, please try restarting your frevvo server after the license install. <frevvo-home>/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh stop. When tomcat has stopped, restart using <frevvo-home>/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh run.
    
    

Installing as a Linux Service

frevvo and solr can be installed and started/stopped as a Service. Follow these steps.

1. Create two service files:

   1. /etc/systemd/system/frevvo-tomcat.service
      

      Code Block

      [Unit] Wants=frevvo-solr.service [Service] User=frevvo Group=frevvo Environment=JAVA_HOME= /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk Environment=CATALINA_PID=/opt/frevvo/tomcat/temp/tomcat.pid Environment=CATALINA_HOME=/opt/frevvo/tomcat Environment=CATALINE_BASE=/opt/frevvo/tomcat WorkingDirectory=/opt/frevvo/tomcat ExecStart=/opt/frevvo/tomcat/bin/catalina.sh run ExecStop=/opt/frevvo/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh PIDFile=/opt/frevvo/tomcat/temp/tomcat.pid SyslogIdentifier=frevvo-tomcat Restart=on-failure [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

   2. /etc/systemd/system/frevvo-solr.service
      

      Code Block

      [Unit] PartOf=frevvo-tomcat.service [Service] Type=forking User=frevvo Group=frevvo Environment=JAVA_HOME= /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk WorkingDirectory=/opt/frevvo/solr PIDFile=/opt/frevvo/solr/bin/solr-8983.pid ExecStart=/opt/frevvo/solr/bin/solr start ExecStop=/opt/frevvo/solr/bin/solr stop SyslogIdentifier=frevvo-solr Restart=on-failure LimitNOFILE=65000 LimitNPROC=65000 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

2. Copy frevvo-tomcat.service and frevvo-solr.service to /etc/systemd/system/ folder
3. Adjust the following in both frevvo-tomcat.service and frevvo-solr.service files:
   1. frevvo installation path
   2. Java installation path
   3. User and Group

4. Reload systemd

   Code Block
   sudo systemctl daemon-reload

5. Start frevvo
   

   Code Block
   sudo systemctl start frevvo-tomcat.service

6. Check frevvo status

   Code Block
   sudo systemctl status frevvo-tomcat.service

7. Check solr status
   

   Code Block
   sudo systemctl status frevvo-solr.service

8. Stop frevvo
   

   Code Block
   sudo systemctl stop frevvo-tomcat.service

Next Steps

Your frevvo server installation is complete. You are now ready to create your firsts tenant, users, forms and workflows. See the documentation for creating a tenant and users.
