Before installing NBIA, you must download and install Java SE Development Kit 8, Apache Ant, MySQL, and Tomcat, and set environmental variables. Refer to Chapters 3 and 4 of the NBIA Installation Guide for details. You must also specify the parameters in the properties file to customize NBIA. Refer to your environment and organization.Chapters 3 and 4 of the NBIA Installation Guide for details.

After installing all pre-requisite software and setting the propertiesNBIA provides a simplified approach to installing on Linux and Windows platforms. Much of the installation process has been automated so that if you accept the default values, you can install NBIA by typing the single command ant. The NBIA installation configures Tomcat for running NBIA and the optional NBIA REST API, and creates an NBIA-specific schema within a pre-existing database on a pre-installed MySQL server. Refer to Chapter 5 of the NBIA Installation Guide for NBIA installation details.

The user who performs installation needs to setup the parameters on install.properties. We put something like “database.password=REPLACE_VALUE”. The REPLACE_VALUE needs to be replaced with actual value.

The user also needs to have LDAP server installed if the user authentication is done by LDAP. If the system has no Java, ant and Tomcat installed, the user also need to install them. All prerequisite software are stated on the installation guide. After all prerequisite software are installed and install.properties are set, then the user can run single command ant.

Documentation is available on the NBIA wiki. There is also an NBIA GitHub repository.
