RapidMiner Server Quick Start Installation
This document provides a quick reference for those familiar with the installation procedures. For more detailed instructions, use the full installation instructions.
Prerequisites
The following are required to successfully install RapidMiner Server:
| Prerequisite | Comment |
|---|---|
| Java 8 (either JDK or JRE) | If it is not already present, install Java 8. |
| A RapidMiner Server database | The RapidMiner Server database (schema) stores configuration files, cron job details, user report requests, and other RapidMiner support data. You can use an existing database server or create a new one; it can reside locally or on a remote host. Refer to these instructions for an example of creating a database schema for use by the RapidMiner service, using one of the many supported database platforms. |
| A RapidMiner Server database user with admin credentials | During installation you will need to supply database access credentials for a user with read, write, and create and delete tables permissions. You can refer to this example of setting permissions using MySQL. |
| RapidMiner Studio | You need a fully functioning RapidMiner Studio client to use RapidMiner Server for any meaningful operations. |
Note: If you modified the web.xml file to disable HTTP connections entirely, you must redo those changes with each EAR upgrade.
