2. Install the Engine
We suggest that you install the Axon Ivy Engine into a new folder called
/opt/ivy/engine
. Create the directory and change the owner to your current
user
cd /opt
sudo mkdir ivy
sudo chown myuser:myuser ivy
Replace myuser with the name of your current user.
Tip
Instead of using your current user we suggest that on a productive system
you use a special user called ivy. First, create a new user and group
called ivy. Then, change the owner of the folder ivy
to the user
ivy. After that, login as user ivy and work with the new user.
sudo mkdir ivy
adduser ivy
...
sudo chown ivy:ivy ivy
ls -al
...
drwxr-xr-x 3 ivy ivy 4096 Sep 15 11:26 ivy
...
login ivy
...
Download the latest engine
cd ivy
mkdir engine
cd engine
wget https://developer.axonivy.com/permalink/|version|/axonivy-engine.zip -O engine.zip
