Installation and Usage of ZBots on Unix
Installing ZBots on UNIX
- ZBots can be installed on MacOSX, Solaris or Linux.
- Below is an example of an installation on Ubuntu Linux. The others are very similar.
- There are steps below that demonstrate how you can make ZBots autostart.
Pre-requisites
- You must have JDK 8 or higher for ZBot to run:Â Download
- The ZBot can be downloaded from: http://<your_zephyr_server>/zephyr/zbot
1. Click on the Download ZBot link above and download the following file: zbot.unix.tar.gz
2. Open the archive with unzipping software (in this case Archive Manager on Ubuntu Linux)
3. Extract this folder to a convenient location where the ZBot will be installed. ZBot will be running from this folder.
4. In this case, /usr/local/zephyr has been chosen as seen below.
5. Open your favorite editor (gedit in this case), and open $ZBOT_EXTRACTION_FOLDER/zbot/conf/zbot.properties
6. Modify zephyrServerURL to point to your zephyr server (as highlighted) and save the property file.
7. Open a terminal window and navigate to $ZBOT_EXTRACTION_FOLDER/zbot and use the following to administer:
./bin/zbot.sh start - To Start the zbot in background
./bin/zbot.sh status - To Check the status of ZBot
./bin/zbot.sh stop - To Stop the zbot
./bin/zbot.sh console - To run zbot in interactive mode
8. Log files are in  $ZBOT_EXTRACTION_FOLDER/zbot/logs
