Set up the Prerequisites

Check that the server meets the requirements. Then configure the server as follows:

install Java JRE or JDK (version 8 or later)
install an SSH key, if not available
if the “localhost” location will be used, enable passwordless SSH login
create a ~/.brooklyn directory on the host with $ mkdir ~/.brooklyn
check your iptables or other firewall service, making sure that incoming connections on port 8443 is not blocked
check that the Linux kernel entropy is sufficient
check that the ulimit values are sufficiently high
ensure external libraries are up-to-date, including nss for SSL.

Configure Cloudsoft AMP

Configure brooklyn.cfg

Set up brooklyn.cfg as described here:

Configure Karaf Security

Out of the box, Cloudsoft AMP includes the default Karaf security configuration. This configuration is used to manage connections to the SSH port of Karaf (which is available to localhost connections only). It is recommended that you update the credentials as detailed in the Karaf Security page.

Configure the Catalog

By default AMP loads the catalog of available application components and services from catalog.bom on the classpath. The initial catalog is in catalog/ in the dist. If you have a preferred catalog, simply replace that file.

More information on the catalog is available here.

Confirm Installation

Launch AMP and it will remain running after you have logged out:

 bin/start

Cloudsoft AMP should now be running on port 8081 (or other port if so specified).
