  1. In a terminal window, connect to the cloud Linux instance using an SSH client. Follow the steps given in the links below.

  2. Get the <PRIVACERA_HUB_REPO_NAME> and log onto the Privacera Docker Hub, substituting the value you've received for <PRIVACERA_HUB_USER>.  You will be prompted for the password.  Use the value for <PRIVACERA_HUB_PASSWORD>.

    docker login <PRIVACERA_HUB_REPO_NAME> -u <PRIVACERA_HUB_USER>

  3. Replace <PRIV_MGR_PACKAGE>, <PRIV_MGR_IMAGE> and <PRIVACERA_HUB_REPO_NAME> below:

    export PRIV_MGR_PACKAGE=<PRIV_MGR_PACKAGE>

  4. Default installation folders for Privacera and Privacera Manager are '~/privacera', and '~/privacera/privacera-manager',  (If you use a different folder, you will need to adjust the commands and sequences accordingly. )

    Use the following sequence to first create the installation folder, then using wget, download and extract the privacera-manager components as shown.

    mkdir -p ~/privacera/downloads
cd ~/privacera/downloads
wget $PRIV_MGR_PACKAGE -O privacera-manager.tar.gz
cd ~/privacera
tar -zxf ~/privacera/downloads/privacera-manager.tar.gz

    The folder '~/privacera/privacera-manager' will contain all the required components. 

  5. Create 'pm-env.sh', a shell script used by Privacera Manager during the installation process and for future upgrades.

    cd ~/privacera/privacera-manager/config
echo '#!/bin/bash' > pm-env.sh
echo "export  PRIV_MGR_PACKAGE=$PRIV_MGR_PACKAGE" >> pm-env.sh
echo "export  PRIV_MGR_IMAGE=$PRIV_MGR_IMAGE" >> pm-env.sh
