Installing PC-lint Plus View

Linux

Before installing PC-lint Plus View on a Linux platform, verify that all prerequisites are met, as described in Software Requirements.

The latest version of PC-lint Plus View installation package can be downloaded from Vector website’s Download Center.

Then proceed with the following:

  1. Extract the installation package into the location where you want to install PC-lint Plus View server. For example:

    tar -xf ~/Downloads/pclpview-25.1.0-linux-x86_64.tar.xz -C /opt/pclpview

  2. Install PC-lint Plus View by executing command:

    <PCLPVIEW_HOME>/bin/install <PCLPVIEW_DATA>

    See install(1) manpage for the full list of options.

Do not run the installation script as root, as this causes the installation of PostgreSQL to fail. And make sure that the user installing and running PC-lint Plus View has read and write access to the necessary locations.

Where <PCLPVIEW_HOME> is the folder containing the application files, usually pclpview-server. And <PCLPVIEW_DATA> is the folder containing data files, usually pclpview-data.

If you use all the default settings, the installer will deploy PC-lint Plus View components in the following locations:

  • The application files in <PCLPVIEW_HOME> folder.

  • The data files in <PCLPVIEW_DATA> folder, where:

    • <PCLPVIEW_DATA>/archive is the default archives directory.

    • <PCLPVIEW_DATA>/backup is the default backup directory.

    • <PCLPVIEW_DATA>/cluster is the database cluster directory.

    • <PCLPVIEW_DATA>/file-repository is the project file repository directory.

    • <PCLPVIEW_DATA>/projects is the project data directory.

    • <PCLPVIEW_DATA>/workspace is the configuration workspace directory.

  • The temporary files in /tmp/pclpview by default.

The installation script will allocate a certain amount of memory for the database to run properly on your system. If this is outside the limits of your system, you will get an error message suggesting to, either tune your system (kernel.shmall or kernel.shmax settings) or use the appropriate options to reduce memory requirement.

Docker

To successfully use the PC-lint Plus View image, make sure you have a container engine like Docker or Podman.

To pull the image and get the instantiation instructions, you can go to the official Vector’s Docker hub.

All the dependencies required to run both the PC-lint Plus View server and the PostgreSQL database are included in the container.
