2. Installing DFM using our script

2.1. Introduction

The DynFi development team provides a script that automates the installation of the latest DynFi Manager on Ubuntu, Debian, and macOS. The script verifies specific parameters on your system before launching the installation of the required components:

  1. OpenJDK

  2. MongoDB

  3. DynFi Manager

Once all these components are installed, the system will start the DynFi Manager process and inform you where you can access it. It offers a simple and fast way to have a working DynFi Manager and is also the recommended installation method for production systems.

You can also install DFM using other methods:

Note

DynFi Manager can be downloaded and installed for free, allowing you to manage 1 to 3 devices – with most software features.

Note

If you want to manage more than 3 devices, please consider buying a license.

2.2. DynFi Manager installation procedure via our script

Please download our installation script and run it:

  1. Connect to your preferred Ubuntu, Debian, or macOS system.

  2. Copy and paste the download link to download the script (you can also use curl -O or wget).

  3. Unzip it using the command tar -xvzf DynFi_Manager_Installer.sh.tgz.

  4. Grant execution rights to the script with chmod u+x DynFi_Manager_Installer.sh.

  5. Run the script and follow the on-screen instructions.

You should end up with a working DynFi installation where DFM is enabled and running on your host.

2.3. What to do if it does not work?

If you encounter problems installing DFM, please check the following:

  • Verify that MongoDB is up and running.

  • Check the installer log in your local directory: DFM_installer.log.

  • Check the DFM logs located at /var/log/dynfi.log.

You can also use the DynFi forum to contact us or send feedback or bug reports.
