Ubuntu Installation

These instructions are for installing Lasso Server on 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 or later.

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

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

$> sudo add-apt-repository "deb 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/lasso9/instancemanager 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.
