Installing Orchestrator

The procedure in this section assumes you have already followed the steps for Installing the Aspera Common Components.

Run all installation commands as root.

You will need the Orchestrator license file you received from your sales representative.

Download the product installer.
1. Go to the Aspera downloads website, http://downloads.asperasoft.com/en/downloads/27.
2. Click the Linux icon, and from the dropdown menu, select the Orchestrator installer, v2.5.1 - Linux RPM x86_64.
3. Click Direct download and enter the user name and password supplied by Aspera. If you have trouble locating your login credentials, contact Technical Support.
4. Click Save File > OK and save the program to the same location as the Aspera Common Components (under /tmp for example).

Run the following setup commands:

# cd /tmp

```
