Before installing the Analytics Engine

You must follow the preparation steps before installing Analytics Engine (AE) on the machines.

Before starting the installation, make sure the following Linux packages are installed on the machine that will host the Analytics Engine (AE):
  • apr
  • apr-util
  • perl-Switch
  • unixODBC
  • freetds

For RHEL 8.10 supported AE installation, you can use the following commands to install the packages:

yum update
You can run one of the following:
dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
subscription-manager repos --enable codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-$(arch)-rpms
or 
subscription-manager repos --enable codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-$(arch)-rpms && yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
And then run, 
yum install apr apr-util perl-Switch libtool-ltdl unixODBC-devel freetds gcc gcc-c++ python2 python2-devel libgsf libnsl python3-msal

The EPEL repository must be configured on the machine in order to install freetds.

The Forcepoint DLP components must already be installed and running on the management server to install the Analytics Engine.
