Installation Hyperic#
Download#
Download the open source version, and no registration. I selected the "Platform Independent" version.Create user#
For security reasons I created a separate user hyperic, with it's own home directory.Unpack#
- Save to ~/downloads
- cp to /tmp and gunzip it
- untar it to /home/hyperic
Create MySQL DB and user#
- create user 'hyperic'@'localhost' identified by "XXXXXXXX"; (mind the double qoutes around the pw)
- create database HQ
- grant all privileges on HQ.* to hyperic;
Run setup.sh#
