Installation

Installation and service operation

The ew-manip service is distributed as a CentOS / Red Hat RPM and is available as ew-manip.service when installed. It works both on RH 7 and 8 and compatible distributions.

To install version x.y.z, the yum command can be used as follows:

yum install ./ew-manip-x.y.z-1.el8.x86_64.rpm

The service can be controlled with the standard systemctl commands:

systemctl start ew-manip.service
systemctl stop ew-manip.service
systemctl status ew-manip.service

To uninstall version x.y.z using the yum command, do:

yum remove ew-manip-x.y.z-1.el8.x86_64

When uninstalling or upgrading it is recommended to first stop the service.

1 - Upgrades

Upgrade of ew-manip

Upgrade to v0.10.x from v.0.8.x

The nginx configuration file ew-repackager-custom.conf should no longer contain the ew-manip specific location. In regards to ew-manip, it should rather only contain an include to a newly installed file /etc/edgeware/ew-manip/ew-manip-nginx.conf. A more detailed description regarding what should be in the /etc/ew-repackager/ew-repackager-custom.conf file can be found here. The reason for this change is so we can make ew-manip specific nginx changes in the future without having users modifying an nginx file.
