Before you begin, please ensure that you have read the System Requirements section of the GSS Server Installation Guide.

1. Download the GSS Server installation file from GSS Server Download Page.

tar -xvf ilerian-gss-server-x.x.tar.gz

By default, the root directory in your tar.gz file is named "ilerian-gss-server".

3. Configure the server

1. Define your interfaces for the server. By default, HTTP interface for localhost:1655 is already defined.

The configuration file is at: <GSS_INSTALL_DIR>/conf/gss-server.xml. It contains simple definitions as starting point of your configuration.

4. Launch GSS Server

Alternatively, you can start GSS Server via a Java Service Wrapper, which provides facility for running the server on the background .

After the service is installed,  enter the jsw/gss-server/bin subdirectory of your GSS Server installation directory and execute:

# <GSS_INSTALL_DIR>/jsw/gss-server/bin > ./gss-server start
