Pre-installation general information#
General information about LUNA CARS Installation#
LUNA CARS consists of 3 subsystems:
- LUNA CARS_Stream
- LUNA CARS_API
- LUNA CARS_Analytics
Installation of all 3 subsystems together is possible using the universal installer CARS_Installer. The installer downloads all necessary versions for each subsystem and performs its installation.
The installer distribution is an archive named cars-installer_v.2.15.0.zip, where v.2.15.0 represents the version of the installer included in the package.
The archive does not include the distributions of CARS_API, CARS_Stream, and CARS_Analytics, which are necessary for full functionality. The archive also does not contain certain dependencies, which, if needed, can be downloaded from open sources during the installation process.
LUNA CARS runs via Docker.
Installation algorithms for each option are given in section LUNA CARS installation and configuration.
The configuration and installation processes must be performed under a superuser account (with root rights).
Licensing#
LUNA CARS uses a licensing utility. License is required for CARS_Stream and CARS_API. CARS_Analytics does not require a license.
LUNA CARS supports several types of licenses (Table 2).
