Installation

This page details the steps to install PathcoreFlow to an on-premise server or virtual machine (VM). This is not applicable to any customers of Pathcore's cloud services.

For additional assistance with installation of PathcoreFlow to a server or virtual machine, please reach out to your account manager to ask about our installation support service.

Prerequisites

In addition to the Technical Requirements you will require:

Docker Container Engine installed and updated to the latest stable version
- Including Docker Compose plugin
The server or VM hostname and/or static IP address where users will access the PathcoreFlow service
The installation script (pathcoreflow-vX.Y.Z-installer.sh) provided by Pathcore Support

Installation Instructions

Standard installation of PathcoreFlow is performed using the pathcoreflow-vX.Y.Z-installer.sh script provided by Pathcore Support.

To install PathcoreFlow

Transfer the install script to the server or VM which will host PathcoreFlow. This is typically done via SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) (e.g., the scp command) to somewhere temporary (e.g., /tmp)
Log in to the server or VM hosting PathcoreFlow and run the install script, e.g.:
```
bash /tmp/pathcoreflow-v4.2.0-installer.sh
```
The script should be executed by a user with sudo access. Your password may be requested to perform some tasks.
Follow the prompts for information. You will be asked to provide the following information:
- The UID (User ID) and GID (Group ID) for the user that will own the database files
- The hostname or IP address that will be used to access PathcoreFlow
- A team name (this can be changed later)
- The name, email address, and password for the initial administrator user
A summary is displayed after installing, and your PathcoreFlow service should be available at the listed URL
