If EASA or Tomcat has been set up to run as a service for a previous version of EASA, then remove the old EASA or Tomcat service before installing the latest one. See Removing the EASA Service.

To install EASA on a Windows computer:

• Log on to the EASA Server as Administrator.
• Open a Windows command prompt
• Change folder to the location of the EASA service installation executable file
  • Enter the following command:
    • cd <EASAROOT>/tomcat/bin
• At the prompt, type the following command:
  • service install
  • Restart the computer.

The EASA service has now been installed and automatically started on a Windows EASA Server.

To install EASA on a Linux computer:

• Log on to the EASA Server as root.
• Open a shell window and create a symbolic link by entering the following command:
  • ln -s /full/path/to/<EASAROOT>/tomcat/bin/easa.sh /etc/init.d/easa
• Determine the run level for EASA.
  • If EASA is to run without loading the X Server, the EASA startup script should be linked to run level 3.
    • Create a symbolic link:
      • ln -s /etc/init.d/easa /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S<num>easa
        • where <num> needs to be a unique integer less than 100.

For example: S30easa.

• Create a symbolic link:
  • ln -s /etc/init.d/easa /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S30easa
• To run EASA together with the X Server, the EASA startup script should be linked to run level 5.
  • ln -s /etc/init.d/easa /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S30easa

The EASA service is now installed on a Linux EASA Server.
