Setting up a Single Server

Follow the instructions below to install AnzoGraph on a single server.

Important Cambridge Semantics recommends that you do not install or run AnzoGraph as the root user. Because AnzoGraph offers features such as user-defined extensions, it is not secure software certified.
  1. Make sure that the AnzoGraph host server meets the requirements in Server and Cluster Requirements.
  2. Go to the AnzoGraph Download page, which lists the AnzoGraph releases that are available to download. The page offers direct download for downloading the tarball to your computer or a cURL command that you can run from the AnzoGraph host server to download the tarball onto the server. Place the azg.tgz tarball on the host server, and then proceed to the next step.
  3. Unpack the tarball and install AnzoGraph. To unpack the tarball, change directories to the location where you want to install AnzoGraph, such as your home directory. Do not choose a root-owned location. Then run the following command to unpack the tarball and install AnzoGraph in that location:
    tar -zxf /path_to_tarball/azg.tgz

    The tarball unpacks the AnzoGraph files into a directory named azg.

  4. Start AnzoGraph by running the following command:
    ./azg/bin/azg

    Note: If you run the command as the root user, the system manager displays the following error message:

    Error - Cannot execute as user 'root'.
To override this security protection, set 'enable_root_user=true':
Invalid user id

    To resolve the issue, follow the instructions in Changing System Settings to add enable_root_user=true to the AnzoGraph settings file and enable root user access. Then repeat this step.

  5. The software prompts you to review and accept the license agreement. Review the AnzoGraph license and type y and press Enter to agree to the license and start the database, or type n and press Enter to disagree and discontinue the startup.

For next steps, see Getting Started with the Command Line Interface, a brief tutorial designed to introduce you to the AnzoGraph command line interface and provide instructions for loading and querying a sample data set as well as your own data.
