Ubuntu 18.04

Note

To install JetStream, you will need to either be logged in as root or be an administrative user using sudo. The examples below use sudo. GLIBCXX_3.4.26 is required for JetStream 2.9.2+ on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS systems.

New Installation - Ubuntu 18.04

Before installing JetStream, ensure you have GLIBCXX_3.4.26. To confirm this, run the following:

# strings /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBCXX

If you do not have GLIBCXX_3.4.26, run the following:

# sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test

# sudo apt update

# sudo apt --only-upgrade install libstdc++6

Once the dependencies are installed, run the following:

# sudo dpkg -i go-jetstream_<version>.deb

Your server should now be running.

Update Existing Installation

Before updating JetStream, ensure you have GLIBCXX_3.4.26. To confirm this, run the following:

# strings /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBCXX

To update JetStream, run the following:

# sudo dpkg -i go-jetstream_<version>.deb

If you have made modifications to system configuration files, such /etc/jetstream-server.rsp, you may be prompted to overwrite the file with a new version. Say can say “N” to keep your current configuration, and then refer to /etc/jetstream-server.rsp.dist to see which changes were made to the default configuration.

Next Steps

Try connecting to the JetStream server and doing some transfers. We recommend downloading the Client Application. See Connecting To JetStream for tips on setting up a connection.

The Client Application may prompt you to setup a license. Server configuration tasks must be done by administrator users, which includes all users in the sudo group by default.

Note

Many configuration tasks can be done from the Client Application, even if the Client is being run on another machine. If you can’t run a Client, or wish to script the installation process, there are alternate ways to configuration the server.
