Install - Air Gapped Systems

To install Senzing on air gapped system (doesn't have internet connection and access to Linux software repositories), manual downloading and installation of the Senzing packages is required.

It may be your organisation maintains internal software repositories only accessible on the corporate intranet or VLANs, for example. In which case your operational administrators should be consulted for including and updating the Senzing packages. 

To perform these operations you will need a machine that is internet connected to download the software packages.

Tip

In addition to these instructions, the appropriate packages can be downloaded for Red Hat and Debian based systems.

Add the Senzing Repository

The first step is to add the Senzing software repository to a machine with the same Linux base distribution as the system to install Senzing to. 

Red Hat Based Distributions

Info

The new APT senzingrepo v2 repository package works only for Senzing versions >= 3.10.0 It detects architecture and platform. If a prior Senzing version is required, you must install the older senzingrepo v1 repository package: https://senzing-production-yum.s3.amazonaws.com/senzingrepo-1.0.0-2.x86_64.rpm. Please contact Senzing Support if you have any questions.

sudo yum install https://senzing-production-yum.s3.amazonaws.com/senzingrepo-2.0.0-1.noarch.rpm
