Components Description and Installation#
Please review carefully this sections before attempting to install Carbonio on a Single-Server or on a Multi-Node infrastructure.
Carbonio is made of Components#
A Carbonio infrastructure is created with the installation of some Components.
A Component is a Carbonio functionality that is considered atomic and consists of one or more packages.
As we will see, it’s possible to install a single Component on a dedicated node or group multiple Components according to affinity rules.
Although this is not a suggested or supported scenario, it would be technically possible to install almost all Carbonio Components on a single virtual machine.
The possibility of installation by Components allows you to design architectures that precisely correspond to the requirements and purposes of your infrastructure.

How to install Components#
Before presenting each Component and the tasks necessary for their correct installation, please review these important remarks:
-
While the overall procedure is the same for both Ubuntu and RHEL 8, the actual commands and file paths may differ on the two operating system, so pay attention that you execute the correct command on the correct files and operating system. The commands that differ are separated as follows. Click the Ubuntu or RHEL tab according to the Operating System on which you are installing Carbonio.
# <command to be executed on Ubuntu systems># <command to be executed on Red Hat systems> All the commands that are mentioned in this installation procedure must be executed as the
rootuserIn case you experience some issues during the installation, please refer to Section CLI Commands, in which you can find helpful commands
When the installation process has successfully finished, you can access Carbonio's GUI using a browser: directions can be found in Section Access to the Web Interface
You must start with the installation of the Mesh & Directory Component, followed by the Database Component. Then you can proceed with the other infrastructure Components and finally with all other Components.
