Ubuntu Installation¶

Installation with apt¶

If you don’t already have the add-apt-repository program, install it with the following command:

$> sudo apt-get install python-software-properties

Import the LassoSoft public key:

$> sudo apt-key adv --fetch-keys http://debianrepo.lassosoft.com/lassosoft-public.gpg.key

To install Lasso Server via apt, the LassoSoft apt repository must be configured on the server. Add the repository by running the following command:

$> sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] http://debianrepo.lassosoft.com/ stable main"

Then run the following to install Lasso Server:

$> sudo apt-get update
$> sudo apt-get install lasso-instance-manager

Lasso’s Java support (which includes methods for PDF manipulation) and ImageMagick support are provided as separate packages. If you need the functionality these packages provide, they can be installed with the following commands:

$> sudo apt-get install lasso-java-api
$> sudo apt-get install lasso-imagemagick

When done, open http://your-server-domain.name:8090/lasso9/lux to load the initialization form and complete your Lasso installation. From here on, you can read up on using the Lasso Instance Manager and Instance Administration and Configuration interfaces.

Package Installation¶

To install Lasso directly from the Debian packages, download the latest releases from the repository archive, then run these commands (ignore errors when running dpkg):

$> sudo apt-get update
$> sudo apt-get install apache2
$> sudo dpkg -i lasso-instance-manager_9.3*.deb lasso-imagemagick_9.3*.deb lasso-java-api_9.3*.deb
$> sudo apt-get install -f
