Prerequisites

• NMIS installed on the same server that opCharts is being installed (NMIS version >=8.5.6G).
• The individual performing this installation has a small bit of Linux experience.

• Root access is available.

• Internet access is required for installing any missing but required software packages.
• opCharts License (evaluation available here).

...

• If you do not yet have a working installation of NMIS in your server, please follow the procedure in the NMIS 8 Installation Guide.
• Download opCharts from the Opmantek website.

Installation

...

Transfer the opCharts tarball onto the server in question, either by direct download from the Opmantek website, or from your desktop with scp or sftp or a similar file transfer tool.
Make a record of where you put the tarball (root's home directory or /tmp are good locations).

...

Become root and unpack the tarball:

# become root
sudo sh
# if the tarball was saved in a different location, adjust the following command 
cd
tar xzf opCharts-x86_64-2.0.1.tar.gz

...

Start the interactive installer and follow its instructions:

sudo sh
cd opCharts-2.0.1
./installer

installer with the -t option.

...

As of February 2016, opCharts is distributed in a self-extracting download format that simplifies the installation process quite a bit. More information on running the installer can be found HERE: The Opmantek Installer

Initial Configuration

• You will need to adjust the NMIS-related settings:
  open conf/opCommon.nmis in an editor, go to the nmis section and change the nmis_dir to reflect your NMIS installation. 
  The result should look similar to the following (but there might be extra settings related to other products):

  Code Block
  'nmis' => { 'nmis_dir' => '/usr/local/nmis8',  'nmisConf' => 'Config', '<nmis_logs>' => '/usr/local/nmis8/logs', 'nmis_host_base' => 'http://localhost', 'nmis_cgi_url_base' => '/cgi-nmis8', 'prefer_local_nmis' => 'false' },
