OS X Installation¶

OS X Prerequisites¶

• Lasso’s PDF functions require a Java 8 runtime. The latest version of Oracle’s Java Runtime Environment can be downloaded from the Java support site.
• OS X 10.11 and later also requires Java 6 from Apple due to an outstanding bug in Oracle’s Java distribution.

Installation¶

1. Download and expand the Lasso Server for OS X installer from the LassoSoft website.

2. Run the installer to perform a standard installation, which will install Lasso Server and start or restart the system’s Apache. By default the following files and folders will be installed:

   Apache config:	/etc/apache2/other/mod_lasso9.conf (OS X 10.7 and later) /etc/apache2/sites/mod_lasso9.conf (OS X Server 10.7) /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/sites/mod_lasso9.conf (OS X Server 10.8 and later)
   Apache plugin:	/usr/libexec/apache2/mod_lasso9-2.2.so (OS X 10.7 to 10.9) /usr/local/libexec/apache2/mod_lasso9-2.4.so (OS X 10.10 and later)
   shared library:	/Library/Frameworks/Lasso9.framework
   launchd item:	/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.lassosoft.lassoinstancemanager.plist
   binaries:	/etc/paths.d/lasso /usr/local/lasso/lasso9 /usr/local/lasso/lassoc /usr/local/lasso/lassoim /usr/local/lasso/lassoserver /usr/local/lasso/lassospitfire
   user data:	/var/lasso

   This installer supports installing to other mounted bootable volumes, and can be run on the command line with sudo installer -pkg Lasso*.pkg -target /.

3. When the installer has finished, click on the link on the web page that appears to load the initialization form (found on your own machine at http://localhost:8090/lasso9/lux) and complete your Lasso installation.

From here on, you can read up on using the Lasso Instance Manager and Instance Administration and Configuration interfaces.
