Evoko Home Installation: Ubuntu

Download and install Evoko Home

1. Download the latest version of Evoko Liso Home Linux from Biamp Downloads.

2. Open Terminal. Before proceeding with the installation, update and install the package list:

sudo apt install -y build-essential
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

3. Navigate to the folder containing the Evoko Home installer. Extract the installer using tar:

tar -xzf installation_v2-*.gz

4. Change to the newly extracted directory and run the installation script:

cd v2.* && sudo bash install.sh

5. The script will automatically detect any missing dependencies for Evoko Home. Type 1 and press Enter to install them.

6. The script will prompt for MongoDB configuration parameters. MongoDB is where all information will be stored regarding the Evoko Home application. Documenting the MongoDB username and password credentials is critical. If the credentials are lost, it is nearly impossible to recover the database if a future restore is needed. We recommend using the following parameters:

Username: evoko_user
Password: evoko_pass
Database name: evoko_home_db
Address: localhost:27017

7. After entering the MongoDB configuration parameters, press Enter.

8. The script will prompt for the HTTP application port (default 3000). Enter the value, then press Enter.

9. The script will prompt for the memory limit for Evoko Home (recommended 4096). Enter the value, then press Enter.

10. When the installation script completes, it will return to the Terminal prompt.

To verify that the Evoko Home service is running, from the Terminal, type evoko_home status.
