Installing and Starting RapidMiner Server

The following sections describe all the steps required to get RapidMiner Server andJob Agents我nstalled and running using theFull Server Package. If you are familiar with these procedures, you can use theQuick Startas a reference for the installation process instead of these more detailed instructions.

The following sections describe all the necessary steps for getting RapidMiner Server fully operational:

• Prepare for the installation
• 创建一个数据库服务器, if necessary
• Download RapidMiner Server
• Install and configure
• Start the server and complete web-based configuration
• Connect to RapidMiner Studio

Prerequisites

The following are required to successfully install RapidMiner Server:

Prerequisite	Comment
Java 8 (either JDK or JRE)	If it is not already present,我nstall Java 8. The installer displays an error message if it finds Java 7 (or a version earlier than 7), but does not block the installation. However, RapidMiner Server requires Java 8 and will otherwise return an error at start up.
A RapidMiner Server database	The RapidMiner Server database (schema) stores configuration files, cron job details, user report requests, and other RapidMiner support data. You can use an existing database server or create a new one; it can reside locally or on a remote host. Refer tothese instructionsfor an example of creating a database schema for use by the RapidMiner service, using one of the many supported database platforms.
A RapidMiner Server database user with credentials	During installation you will need to supply database access credentials for a user with read, write, and create and delete tables permissions. You can refer tothis exampleof setting permissions using PostgreSQL.
RapidMiner Studio	You need a fully functioning RapidMiner Studio client to use RapidMiner Server for any meaningful operations.

Once the prerequisites are met, you canbegin the installation.

Installation instructions

Use the following steps to 1) download 2) configure, and 3) install RapidMiner Server. Once the installation process is complete, if youselected to do so, the settings are saved to a configuration file. You can later modify the file (for example, change hostname or ports) and easily install the RapidMiner Server service on a different machine. (See the section onheadless installationfor more information on this option.)

Downloading RapidMiner Server

Follow these steps to download the full RapidMiner Server package:

1. Log into yourRapidMiner accountand click theDownloads我con or tab:

   

2. From theDownloadspage, select the appropriate type of installation for your environment.

3. Unlike RapidMiner Studio, you do not need to pick an operating system platform for the Server edition. ClickDownloadand accept the EULA to download the zip filerapidminer-server-installer-x.x.x.zip, which contains the RapidMiner Server package.

4. Extract the contents of the download file to an installation directory.

Installing RapidMiner Server

The following steps describeServer我nstallation. The installation script requires Java 8; if it is not available (not on the path or JAVA_HOME is not set), the installer will not run correctly. If it does not run, check your Java installation.

Note for Windows Users: It is helpful to run the installation asAdmin. This allows the installer to register the service. Additionally, a standard user is not allowed to write to all folders on the system (for example,C:\Program Files). If you do not want to register RapidMiner Server as a service and plan to install to a folder you have write access to, admin privileges are not required.

1. Change to thebindirectory (within the installation directory) to locate the start script (or batch file) for the installation.

   • For Windows, use the filerapidminer-server-installer.bat
   • For Linux, Unix, or Mac OS, use the filerapidminer-server-installer

2. AsAdmin, run the appropriate installer script. TheRapidMiner Server Installerwindow opens. This is not the RapidMiner service; it is a tool to help you preconfigure the service.

3. In theRapidMiner Server Installerwindow, read theBefore You Starttext and clickNextwhen you are ready.

   

4. In the next window, select the modeFresh installation of RapidMiner Server. You can install either locally or you can create a configuration file used for aheadless installation. If you select a headless installation, browse to a file location for storing the resulting XML file. ClickNext.

5. Scroll to the bottom of the EULA screen, check the box to accept, and clickNext.

   

6. Enter or browse to the location where RapidMiner Server should be installed. Please ensure that the folder path does not contain+or%characters and the file system supports UTF-8.

7. Enter or browse to the location where theRapidMiner Server home directoryshould be located. The home directory is a central place for stored repository content, extensions, logs and configuration files. Please ensure that the folder path does not contain+or%characters and the file system supports UTF-8. ClickNext. The RapidMiner Server InstallerLicensewindow opens.

8. From your account portalLicensespage, copy the license key to your clipboard. (See thisadditional information我f you need help copying your key.)

9. Paste the key into theLicensewindow. The license registration information updates based on the details of the entered license. ClickNext.

   

TheServer Settingswindow opens.

Authentication mechanism	Choose how to authenticate to the SMTP server.

Complete the fields, Test the connection and clickNext.

Installing Radoop Proxy

This install step is relevant only if you haveRapidMiner Radoopextension installed on any RapidMiner Studio instance. You can installRadoop Proxyalong with RapidMiner Server, which is responsible for establishing tunnelled, secure connection to your Hadoop cluster. This is especially useful when you have a RapidMiner Server installed inside the same secure zone as your Hadoop cluster, letting the zone have less ports opened.

If you plan to use this functionality later on, checkEnable Radoop Proxy, and provide a validPortnumber. Please note that Radoop Proxy requires both this port and the subsequent port (for testing) to be available. If you wish to enable Radoop Proxy manually, or deploy it onto another machine, seethis page.

Starting the installation

ClickInstallto begin the installation.

Note: If you do not have the correct administrative privileges, you receive a message telling you that theservicewas not registered to Windows services. If you receive the following message, however, the RapidMiner Server installation was successful:

Starting RapidMiner Server

After reading the information on theSuccessscreen, clickOKto complete the installation. Start RapidMiner Server in one of the following ways:

Method	Description
Start the RapidMiner Server manually	In thebindirectory of your RapidMiner Server installation directory (for example,C:\RapidMinerServer\bin), find and execute thestandalone.sh(Unix) orstandalone.bat(Windows) file.
Start the RapidMiner Server service from the command line (Windows only)	Enternet start at the command line to start the service.
Start the RapidMiner Server service through the Windows tool (Windows only)	Browse to theServicesdirectory on your machine (or searchServicesfrom theStartmenu) and locate the RapidMiner Server service. Right-click the service name and select to either start the service immediately or, through thePropertiesoption, to automatically start the service at system start-up.

When you start RapidMiner Server using the standalone script, the command window displays progress as the program populates the database with all its required tables. If this is the first start-up, the process may take several minutes.

Note:You can ignore the final message that the administration console service was not able to start.

When you start via the Windows service, you do not see the progress, just the finalStartedmessage in your Services window.

Once you have started the server, either via the services option or the standalone script, log in to the web interface. Open a web browser pointed at thehttp://:(for example,http://localhost:8080). The login credentials for first time use are:

• User:admin
• Password:changeit

Important:Please be certain tochange your password我mmediately.

Completing the installation

Once logged in, complete the final installation steps.

1. From theSQL Dialectpull-down, verify that the database type displayed is the one you used to create the RapidMiner Server database.

2. Verify the setting for the integrated Quartz scheduler, which is enabled by default.

3. Specify the path to the plugin directory. You can install additional RapidMiner extensions by placing them in, or saving them to, this directory. Note that all extensions bundled with RapidMiner Studio are also bundled with RapidMiner Server (no installation is necessary). These bundled extensions are stored in a separate directory that is independent of the path specified here. Be sure that you have write permission to the directory.

4. Specify the path to the uploads directory. This is the directory where RapidMiner Server stores temporary files needed for processes. The installation process creates a local uploads directory in the installation folder. However, if you install RapidMiner Server on a relatively small hard disk and, for example, use many file objects in processes or if you have large resulting files, consider creating a directory elsewhere in the cluster to store the temporary files. Be sure that you have write permission to the directory.

5. ClickStart installation now. When the installation completes, the RapidMiner Server Home page appears:

   

Changing the administrator password

Your first action, once installation is complete, is to change the administrator password. It is important to change the password at this point because connecting to RapidMiner Studio requires that you enter RapidMiner Server login credentials. Changing your credentials later means that you will have to correct this connection as well. To change the password:

1. Expand theAdministrationmenu on the left side of the window.

2. SelectPreferences. The Preferences settings for useradmindisplay.

   

   完整的字段如下:

   Field	Description
   Display name	在安装中,字段默认值admin. Leave it, or change it to any name you want displayed for the administrator. The display name appears in parentheses in the window title.
   Email address	输入the email address associated with the admin account.
   Password	Enter a new password for the administrator account. The password must be at least 8 alphanumeric characters.
   Repeat password	Re-enter the new password to confirm.

3. ClickSubmit. The new display name appears, as well as a confirmation of password change.

   

Congratulations, your RapidMiner Server installation is complete. Next up, connecting to RapidMiner Studio.

Connecting RapidMiner Server to RapidMiner Studio
