DTP does not ship with the MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle JDBC drivers necessary to set up a database connection. After starting and licensing DTP, you may see an error when configuring your database connection. Refer to the JDBC Drivers section for instructions on how to install the drivers so that you can connect DTP to your database.

Installing DTP on Linux

Some Linux distributions do not ship with all libraries necessary to install DTP with an embedded database. You should install the libraries before deploying DTP (see the note under step 6).

...

1. Extract the DTP installation script from the tarball to your current directory. The following command is an example of a common method: 

   Code Block
   language text title Linux
   tar xvzf parasoft_dtp_[version]_linux.tar.gz

2. Run the DTP installation script and use the -i  option to specify the installation directory location and the -d option to specify the application data directory. You must use full paths. For example:

   Code Block
   language bash title Correct
   ./DTP.sh -i /home/<user>/dtp -d /home/<user>/dtp_data

   Do not use relative paths to specify the directories:

   Code Block
   language bash title Incorrect
   ./DTP.sh -i ../../dtp -d ~/var/dtp_data

   You will be prompted to specify a location if you run the script without doing so. 
   If you want to set up crontab entries for DTP during installation, turn on the --setup-cron flag:

   Code Block
   title Example with --setup-cron flag activated
   ./DTP.sh -i /home/<user>/dtp -d /home/<user>/dtp_data --setup-cron

   Activating the --setup-cron flag will cause a menu of options to appear during the installation process from which you can choose to either append DTP entries to the current crontab or overwrite it.

   If you want to install Parasoft DTP Enterprise Pack, choose [y] and press Enter when prompted. Enterprise Pack includes Extension Designer, which enables you to derive sophisticated SDLC data analytics and implement granular programming policies. See DTP Enterprise Pack for additional information. A valid DTP Enterprise license is required to use Extension Designer functionality. Anchorinstall-extra-db-librariesinstall-extra-db-librariesIf your DTP distribution includes an embedded database server, the server will automatically start during installation. Some Linux distributions, however, do not ship with all libraries necessary to install embedded database distributions of DTP. The installer will exit after printing the following message to the console:

   Code Block
   language text
   Installation was not started because the following libraries are missing: <list of missing libraries> Use your Linux distribution's package manager to install the missing libraries then reinstall DTP. For example, you can install libaio.so.1 in Ubuntu with the following command: sudo apt-get install libaio1 If the libaio.so.1 is missing from your Red Hat Enterprise Linux distribution, then run: sudo yum install libaio.x86_64 Consult the documentation shipped with your Linux distribution for additional information.

   Install the libraries as described in your Linux distribution documentation and restart the installation process.

   Installation will also stop if you are logged in as the root user (see step 1) and print the following message to the console:

   Code BlockInstallation was not started. You cannot be logged in as the root user when installing DTP  with embedded DB. Please log in as another user and reinstall

If you chose to install DTP Enterprise Pack (see step 4), a directory called "dtpservices" will be added to the <DTP_INSTALL> directory. See DTP Enterprise Pack for details.
