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

Transfer the opCharts installer file 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.

• Start the interactive installer and follow its instructions:

  Code Block
  sudo sh ./opCharts-Linux-x86_64-3.0.7.run ... ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ opCharts (3.0.7) Installation script ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ... This installer will install opCharts into /usr/local/omk. To select a different installation location please rerun the installer with the -t option.

• The installer will interactively guide you through the steps of installing opCharts. Please make sure to read the on-screen prompts carefully.
• When the installer finishes, opCharts is installed into /usr/local/omk, and the default configuration files are in /usr/local/omk/conf, ready for your initial config adjustments.
• A detailed log of the installation process is saved as /usr/local/omk/install.log, and subsequent upgrades or installations of other Opmantek products will add to that logfile.
• For detailed information about the interactive installer please check the Opmantek Installer page.

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' },
