Installing NBIA Using the Command-line Method

To install a new instance of NBIA 7.0 GA using the command-line, follow these steps:

1. From the directory where you downloaded NBIA_install_7_0.zip, unzip the files into a fresh directory. In this documentation, this location is referred to as the <installer_directory>.
   Example: <installer directory> = C:\NBIA_7_0_installer.

   Info
   title Property values are important!
   Setting the property values is an important step in the installation process. Before you complete steps 2 and 3, review About Properties. Follow steps 2 and 3 carefully.

2. Open <installer_directory>/install.properties, modify the values for your environment, and save the file.
   For detailed information on all of the properties, refer to NBIA 7.0 GA properties documentation.
   At a minimum, you will likely need to modify the values for the following properties: 

   System user and password and database name, user, and password should be the same for UPT and NBIA install.properties. For more information, see 4 - Installing and Configuring Software for NBIA 7.0 GA.

   Code Block

   database.type database.system.userdatabase.system.password database.server database.port database.name database.user database.password authentication.type mail.smtp.server ctp.server.admin.password ctp.client.admin.password tomcat.server.port gov.nih.nci.ncia.tomcat.home  gov.nih.nci.NBIA.jboss.public.url gov.nih.nci.NBIA.admin.email gov.nih.nci.NBIA.grid.local.node.name gov.nih.nci.NBIA.imaging.server.url jar-signing.keystore.location=${user.home}/testdownload jar-signing.keystore.password=testdownload jar-signing.keystore.alias=testdownload jar-signing.execution.time=install jar-signing.generate-selfsigned=true

   Tip
   title Default values
   You should not need to modify the other default values as the application uses unique ports to reduce the risk of other applications using the same values. However, be sure to verify that the ports in this file are not being used by other applications.

3. From the command line, navigate to <installer_directory> (Example: cd C:/NBIA_7_0_installer), and type ant. This initiates the installation process. The anticipated duration is anywhere from 5-20 minutes, depending on your system's speed, power, and memory. The installer installs the NBIA schema in the specified pre-existing database in your database server. It configures and starts the Tomcat server for the web application and it installs and starts the CTP server.

4. To verify NBIA installation, do the following:

   1. Open your web browser to http://<tomcat.server.hostname>:8080/ncia

   2. Refer to the installer_directory;/install.properties file for the correct values.

   3. Log in with ncidevtest as the user and changeme as the password. 

5. After successfully installing NBIA, make a backup of the <installer_directory>/install.properties file in a different directory for future reference.

6. Start NBIA.
