Performing a Custom installation with Talend Installer

The Custom installation is a customizable installation method for Talend Installer. You can choose which components to install, where to install them, and how they are installed. With the Custom installation, you can install Talend Administration Center on one machine and Talend Studio on another.

Before you begin

  • Download all required files. For more information, see Talend Installer specific prerequisites.
  • Confirm that all default ports are open. For more information, see Proxy and firewall allowlist information.
  • Ensure that only one instance of MongoDB is installed on your machine.
  • Ensure that the dist file is in the same directory as the Talend Installer file. Depending on your license, this file is called either Talend-Tools-Installer-YYYYYYYY_YYYY-VA.B.C-linux64-installer.run or Talend-Installer-YYYYYYYY_YYYY-VA.B.C-linux64-installer.run.

Procedure

  1. Run the installer.
    • To run the Talend Installer from the desktop, first login as superuser then make the Talend Installer file an executable file and double-click it.
    • To run the Talend Installer from the command line, first make the Talend Installer file an executable file, then run it. To do this, enter the following command:
      chmod +x <Talend-Installer>.run
./<Talend-Installer>.run
      Information noteNote: To install Talend server modules as services, in the Select Components setup window, select Talend Server Services.
  2. Accept the License Agreement.
  3. Choose the directory where you want your Talend product to be installed.
  4. Choose Advanced Install in the installation style list and Custom in the installation type list.
  5. Add your license file.
  6. Launch the installation.
  7. Once the installation is complete, you can remove the dist file to save some space on your disk.
  8. If Talend MDM Server and MDM Workflow Server are installed and started as services, add a line wrapper.java.additional.16 = -Dorg.bonitasoft.platform.setup.folder=<$BonitaInstallDir>/setup in the file <$BonitaInstallDir>/TalendServices/conf/wrapper.conf, where <$BonitaInstallDir> is the installation directory of the MDM Workflow Server.

Results

Talend Installer creates a usedports.txt file where all the ports used by Talend Server modules are listed.

Filebeat is automatically installed with Talend LogServer.

A user with tds-user as username and duser as password is automatically created in MongoDB for Talend Data Stewardship.

A user with dataprep-user as username and duser as password is automatically created in MongoDB for Talend Data Preparation.

If you chose to use the embedded MongoDB instance, Talend Installer generates the AdminUser.txt file at the root of the MongoDB installation folder. It contains the credentials for a user with the administrator rights in clear text. It is recommended to restrict the access to this file.
