Installation - Mac OS X
To install under Mac OS X, it is assumed that you are comfortable operating a shell.
The first step is to download the Mac OS X distribution archive of Ignition from our website. The Mac OS X downloads, which are zip files, are listed underneath the Windows executable installer.
After downloading the Mac OS X distribution archive, follow these directions to install Ignition as a Mac OS X service. You'll also find these directions in the distribution file's README.
* All of these commands should be run as root. Prefix everything with "sudo" or run "sudo su" first.
| 1. | Unzip files. We're going to install Ignition into /usr/local/ignition. Run the following command, where <<ignition-macosx.zip>> is the path to the Ignition Mac OS X distribution that you downloaded. unzip <<ignition-macosx.zip>> -d /usr/local/ignition |
| 2. | Switch Directories Change directories into the install directory. cd /usr/local/ignition |
| 3. | Make Files Executable Execute these three "chmod" commands to make files executable. chmod +x ignition.sh chmod +x ignition-gateway chmod +x gcu.sh |
| 4. | Create symlink in /usr/local To turn the application into a service, create a symlink to ignition.sh in /usr/local/bin cd /usr/local/bin ln -s /usr/local/ignition/ignition.sh ignition chmod +x ignition |
| 6. | Make Ignition Load On Startup Copy a plist file into LaunchDaemons cp /usr/local/bin/ignition/com.inductiveautomation.ignition.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/ |
| 7. | Start up Ignition Ignition is now installed a service. It will start up when the computer boots up. To start it up now, use this command: /usr/local/bin/ignition start |
That's it! Ignition is now starting up. See the README file for information about how to stop and uninstall the service.
Once the Ignition Gateway starts up, your web browser will open and bring you to the Gateway Homepage >
