2.02 - Installation with Debian/Ubuntu

Deprecated from 1.22 and not supported from Squash TM 2.0.

This procedure was tested on these operating systems:

It also works on Ubuntu OS but it was never tested.

From Squash TM 1.17, it is IMPERATIVE to use Java 8, Java 7 is not supported anymore.

1. Add Squash TM to the packages manager database:

echo "deb http://repo.squashtest.org/debian stretch main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/squash-tm.list

echo "deb http://repo.squashtest.org/debian buster main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/squash-tm.list

2. Import the gpg key:

wget -q -O - http://repo.squashtest.org/repo.squashtest.org.gpg.key | apt-key add -

3. Update the packages database and then, install Squash TM package:

apt-get update

apt-get install squash-tm

4. Populate the database with SQL files located in:

/usr/share/dbconfig-common/data/squash-tm/install/

If you have a MySQL database, you can install the database with dbconfig-common. If so, the database will be automatically populated.

5. Check the database parameters in /etc/default/squash-tm (to install a new database, see 2.05 - Install another database (recommended)):

DB_URL="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/squashtm" or "jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/squashtm"

DB_TYPE="mysql" or "postgresql"

DB_USERNAME="squash-tm"

DB_PASSWORD="initial_pw"

6. At the end of the installation, the service will be launched with systemd
