Installation Instructions

PRIMAL-RAD is designed to install right after you lay down the OS. Fedora versions 21-24 or Redhat 6 have been tested.

We suggest that /tmp, /var, / and /home all be seperate partitions. This is to protect the system in case one of them fills up. Here is the typical setup:

/ - 30GiB
/tmp - 15GiB
/var - 15GiB
/boot - 1GiB
/home - 100GiB

By default, PRIMAL installs on the /home partition under /home/dicom. We strongly suggest you configure your logs to go to /var and you make a seperate partition for your sent directory if you expect to have a lot of volume.

Once the OS is installed copy the .tar.xz to /tmp and extract. Then run install.bash and answer the prompts.

Edit the configuration file /home/primal/primal.conf. Definitions of common configuration options are included in the file.

Execute the following after making changes to the configuration file:

/home/dicom/startup.bash restart ALL
