Download and install a JDK or JRE, if you do not already have one installed on your computer. See Before you Begin: System Requirements.

Download the tc Server Developer Edition distribution from the SpringSource Download Center.

The Developer Edition is distributed as either a ZIP or compressed TAR file with the following names:

Open a terminal (Unix) or command window (Windows) and create the main tc Server installation directory, such as /home/tcserver. For example, on Unix:

prompt$ mkdir /home/tcserver

Unzip or untar the tc Server distribution file into the new directory.

This creates a directory called springsource-tc-server-developer in the main tc Server installation directory that contains the tc Runtime utility scripts, the templates directory, the tomcat-version directory, and so on.

See Overview of tc Server Directories, Variables, and Configuration Files for details.

This directory also contains a prepackaged tc Runtime instance called spring-insight-instance that contains the Spring Insight feature.

Start the prepackaged tc Runtime instance. The exact steps depend on your platform (Unix or Windows.)

Unix: Change to the /home/tcserver/springsource-tc-server-developer directory and execute the tcruntime-ctl.sh script to start the instance. For example:

prompt$ cd /home/tcserver/springsource-tc-server-developer
prompt$ ./tcruntime-ctl.sh spring-insight-instance start

Windows: Change to the c:\home\tcserver\springsource-tc-server-developer directory and execute the tcruntime-ctl.bat script to first install the tc Runtime instance as a Windows service and then start it:

prompt> cd c:\home\tcserver\springsource-tc-server-developer
prompt> tcruntime-ctl.bat spring-insight-instance install
prompt> tcruntime-ctl.bat spring-insight-instance start

Subsequently, Springsource recommends that you start and stop the tc Runtime instance by using the Windows Services console. The tc Runtime instance is displayed in the console with the name SpringSource tc Runtime - unique-name, where unique-name is a unique combination of server name and server directory.

After the tc Runtime instance starts, invoke Spring Insight in your browser:

http://host:8080/insight

where host refers to the computer on which it is running; if this is the same computer as the browser, you can use localhost:

http://localhost:8080/insight

Download and install a JDK or JRE, if you do not already have one installed on your computer. See Before you Begin: System Requirements.

On the SpringSource Download Center page under tc Server, click the tc Server Standard Edition link and navigate to the download page.

Download the Standard Edition Runtime package distribution.

Choose the ZIP or the compressed TAR file distribution:

Open a terminal (Unix) or command window (Windows) and create the main tc Server installation directory, such as /home/tcserver. For example, on Unix:

prompt$ mkdir /home/tcserver

Unzip or untar the tc Server distribution file into the new directory.

This creates a directory called springsource-tc-server-standard in the main tc Server installation directory that contains the tc Runtime utility scripts, the templates directory, the tomcat-version directory, and so on.

See Overview of tc Server Directories, Variables, and Configuration Files for details.

On the computer on which you are going to install the managed node (tc Runtime and HQ Agent), download and install a JDK or JRE, if you have not already done so. See Before You Begin: System Requirements.

On the SpringSource Download Center page under tc Server, click the tc Server Standard Edition link and navigate to the download page.

Download the tc Server Managed Node distribution.

Choose the ZIP or compressed TAR file distribution:

Open a terminal (Unix) or command prompt (Windows) and create the main tc Server managed node installation directory, such as /home/tcserver. For example, on Unix:

prompt$ mkdir /home/tcserver

This directory will contain the managed node components (tc Runtime and HQ Agent).

Unzip or untar the tc Server distribution file into the new directory.

A directory called springsource-tc-server-node is created in the main tc Server installation directory that contains the tc Runtime utility scripts, the templates directory, the tomcat-version directory, and so on.

See Overview of tc Server Directories, Variables, and Configuration Files for details.

This directory also contains the HQ Agent that has been preconfigured with the tc Server HQ plug-in. The agent is contained in the hyperic-hq-agent-4.2.X.X-EE sub-directory (such as /home/tcserver/springsource-tc-server-node/hyperic-hq-agent-4.2.X.X-EE).

On the computer on which you are going to install HQ Server, download and install a JDK or JRE, if you have not already done so. See Before you Begin: System Requirements.

If you have not already done so, download and install a database server on the computer that will host HQ Server or on a remote computer that is accessible to the HQ Server host computer. See Before You Begin: System Requirements.

Obtain the URL and username/password used to connect to your database server, because the installation program for HQ Server will ask for it.

Open a terminal (Unix) or command prompt (Windows) and create the directory that will contain the HQ Server, such as /home/hyperic. For example, on Unix:

prompt$ mkdir /home/hyperic

If you are installing all components on the same computer, you can install the HQ Server into the same tc Server directory that you already created (/home/tcserver in our example.)

From the same page that you downloaded the tc Server Managed Node distribution (step 2 and 3), download the HQ Server distribution. This version of HQ Server is platform-neutral and is preconfigured with the tc Server HQ plug-in.

Choose the ZIP or compressed TAR file:

Unzip the HQ Server distribution into a temporary directory.

From your terminal window or command prompt, change to this temporary directory and execute the setup.sh (Unix) or setup.bat (Windows) script. For example, on Unix:

prompt$ cd /tmp/hyperic-hq-installer-noJRE-tc-server-2.0.X.RELEASE
prompt$ ./setup.sh

After accepting the terms of agreement, enter 1 to install just the HQ Server, because you installed the HQ Agent in a preceding step. The script asks a few more questions, such as information about your database and the directory into which you want to install the HQ Server (/home/hyperic or /home/tcserver in our example.)

When the setup.sh script completes, the HQ Server will be installed in the directory /home/hyperic/server-4.2.X.X-EE.

See Installing the Agent and Server from a Tarball or Zip Archive for additional details about the questions asked by the setup.sh script.

On the SpringSource Download Center page under tc Server, click the tc Server Spring Edition link and navigate to the download page. You will see downloads for the tc Server Standard Edition Managed Node, HQ Server, and the Instrumented Spring JARs.

Follow the instructions in Installing Standard Edition (Managed Node Package) to download and install the tc Server managed node and HQ Server.

Download the distributions of Spring Framework, Spring Web Flow, Spring Security, and Spring Web Services that have been specifically instrumented for management with Hyperic HQ.

See Spring Instrumentation Documentation for information about using these instrumented JARs with your Spring application.
