Install Command Central
You install Command Central using the Command Central bootstrapper. The bootstrapper also automatically installs Platform Manager and the Command Central command line interface (CLI), and then installs the fixes that were available at release time on all three components.
Machines on which you install Command Central must have at least 1GB of RAM and at least 2GB of hard drive space. If you plan to install and upgrade products and install fixes from Command Central, you will need an additional 100GB of hard drive space. Command Central host machines must have access to the host machines of all products you want to manage. Restrict user access to only those people who need to use Command Central.
Important: | You can install Deployer and the Asset Build Environment in the same installation directory as Command Central, but do not install any other Software AG products in that directory. One reason is to enable you to restrict access. A second reason is that you should upgrade Command Central when new releases come out, even if you are not yet upgrading your products, and keeping Command Central separated from the products makes upgrading it easier. |
For supported operating systems and browsers, see System Requirements for Software AG Products.

2. If you are installing on a Windows system, create an installation user account and give the account Windows system administrator privileges.
If you are installing on a UNIX system, create a non-root installation user account and give the account full read and write permissions to the target installation directory. If you want to register daemons for Command Central and Platform Manager, ask your system administrator for the sudo password.
The installation user account will own all files you install.
3. Log on to the target machine under the installation user account you just created.
4. Open your installation email from Software AG and follow the instructions to download the Command Central bootstrapper for the appropriate operating system. If you are installing on a Windows system, extract the ZIP archive into the target installation directory.
5. Open a command window as Administrator for Windows or a shell window for UNIX and run the .bat file or .sh script with the arguments in the table below. Arguments that have defaults are optional.
Argument | Value | Default |
--accept-license | Indicates that you accept the Software AG product license. | |
-H host_name | DNS name or IP address for the target host machine. | Machine on which you are running the bootstrapper. |
-d path | Full path to the target installation directory. | Directory from which you run the bootstrapper. |
-c port_number | HTTP port to use for Command Central. | 8090 |
-C port_number | HTTPS port to use for Command Central. | 8091 |
-s port_number | HTTP port for Command Central to use to communicate with its Platform Manager. | 8092 |
-S port_number | HTTPS port for Command Central to use to communicate with its Platform Manager. | 8093 |
-p password | Password to use for the Command Central Administrator user account. If you are installing in a production environment, Software AG strongly recommends you replace the default with a strong, custom password. | manage |
-P sudo_password | If you are installing on a UNIX system and want to register daemons for Command Central and Platform Manager, the sudo password. | |
6. After installation is complete, Command Central is running and ready for use. The bootstrapper lists the Command Central URL and authentication credentials in the command or shell window. Note this information so you can log on.
Note: | If you did not register daemons when you installed Command Central but want to do so at a later time, you can run the bootstrapper again with the argument -P sudo_password. |
Examples
To install on a Windows system in the c:\sagcc directory and set the password for the
Command Central Administrator user account to $uperCCAdm1n:
unzip cc-def-9.12-fix1-w64.zip
cc-def-9.12-release-w64.bat -d c:\sagcc -P $uperCCAdm1n --accept-license
To install on a UNIX system in the /opt/sagcc directory on the UNIX system cchost.com, set the port values, and set the password for the
Command Central Administrator user account to $uperCCAdm1n:
chmod +x cc-def-9.12-fix1-lnxamd64.sh
./cc-def-9.12-fix1-lnxamd64.sh -d /opt/sagcc -H cchost.com
-c 9090 -C 9091 -s 9092 -S 9093 -P $uperCCAdm1n --accept-license
