Introduction

Omada Software Controller supports installation on Windows and Linux systems depending on your need. Here we mainly introduce the installation method in Linux. We will take Ubuntu 22.04 as examples to show the installation process of the Omada SDN Controller (the installation method in Debian is same as that in Ubuntu).

Installation

We will take Ubuntu 22.04 as examples to show the installation process of the Omada SDN Controller (the installation method in Debian is same as that in Ubuntu). You can choose the matching process to follow according to your needs.

Installation on Ubuntu 22.04

You need to install OpenJDK, MongoDB, JSVC and other dependencies before installing your Omada Software Controller. Here we use Ubuntu 22.04 as a sample to help you install these dependencies on Linux.

Run command line window

For Ubuntu / Debian: Click Ctrl + Alt + T on your keyboard to wake up Command Line Window. Then you can input the commands in the following installation guides to install your Omada Software Controller.

Install OpenJDK

Omada Software Controller (version 5.15.20 and above) for Linux requires Java-64bit version 17 and above. Here we help you install the OpenJDK 17 on your system.

Step 1. Update apt sources

sudo apt update

Step 2. Install openJDK-17 with the command.

sudo apt install -y openjdk-17-jre-headless

Step 3. Check Java version after installation.

java -version

Step 4. Install dependencies for JSVC.

sudo apt install -y jsvc

Step 5. Check JSVC version after installation. (Recommend using v1.0.15)

jsvc -version

Omada Software Controller for Linux (version 5.15.20 below) support Java-64bit version 8 and above. Here we help you install the OpenJDK 8 and OpenJDK 11 on your system. You can choose the version to install according to your needs.

• For OpenJDK 8, here we help you install the OpenJDK 8 and the JSVC for OpenJDK8 for you.

Step 1. Install OpenJDK-8 with the command.

sudo apt install –y openjdk-8-jre-headless

Step 2. Install JSVC for OpenJDK 8 with the command.

sudo apt install jsvc

• For OpenJDK 11, here we help you install the OpenJDK 11 and the JSVC for OpenJDK11 for you.

Step 1. Install OpenJDK-11 with the command.

sudo apt install –y openjdk-11-jre-headless

Step 2. Install dependencies for JSVC.

sudo apt install autoconf make gcc

Step 3. Download the source codes from the official website (Here we use JSVC 1.2.4 as a sample).

wget https://archive.apache.org/dist/commons/daemon/source/commons-daemon-1.2.4-src.tar.gz

tar zxvf commons-daemon-x.y.z-src.tar.gz

cd commons-daemon-x.y.z-src/src/native/unix

Step 4. Compile and install

sh support/buildconf.sh./configure --with-java=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64 (default path of OpenJDK-11-JDK)

make

Step 5. Create a soft link from your JSVC path:

ln –s /YOUR_ABSOLUTE_PATH/commons-daemon-1.2.4-src/src/native/unix/jsvc /usr/bin/

Note：You can refer to the following link to choose the latest download link of JSVC(1.1.0 and above):

Here we take MongoDB v4.4, v7 and v8 as examples to help you install MongoDB on your system. You can choose the matching one according to your needs.

• For MongoDB v4.4. Here we help you install the MongoDB v4.4 on your system.

Step 1. Download Libssl dependency.

Libssl is a necessary dependency to download MongoDB on Ubuntu22.04.If you downloaded Ubuntu version before 22.04, you can skip Step 1 & 2.

wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.23_amd64.deb

Step 2. Install libssl.

sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.23_amd64.deb

Note: The download link will update time to time, you can refer to the following link to choose the latest download link：http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/

Step 3. Import the public key.

wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.4.asc | sudo apt-key add –

Step 4. Create /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.4.list with the appropriate version of command.

• For Ubuntu 16.04

echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/4.4 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.4.list

sudo gpg -o /usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server-8.0.gpg \

--dearmor

Step 3. Create the list file. Create the list file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-8.0.list for your version of Ubuntu.

• For Ubuntu 20.04, Create the list file for Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal):

echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server-8.0.gpg ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu focal/mongodb-org/8.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-8.0.list

• For Ubuntu 22.04, Create the list file for Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy):

echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server-8.0.gpg ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu jammy/mongodb-org/8.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-8.0.list

• For Ubuntu 24.04, Create the list file for Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble):

echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/mongodb-server-8.0.gpg ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu jammy/mongodb-org/8.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-8.0.list

Step 4. Reload the package database. Issue the following command to reload the local package database:

sudo apt-get update

Step 5. Install MongoDB Community Server. You can install either the latest stable version of MongoDB or a specific version of MongoDB.

• To install the latest stable version, issue the following

sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

• To install a specific release, you must specify each component package individually along with the version number, as in the following example:

sudo apt-get install -y \

mongodb-org=8.0.12 \

mongodb-org-database=8.0.12 \

mongodb-org-server=8.0.12 \

mongodb-mongosh \

mongodb-org-shell=8.0.12 \

mongodb-org-mongos=8.0.12 \

mongodb-org-tools=8.0.12 \

mongodb-org-database-tools-extra=8.0.12

If you only install mongodb-org=8.0.12 and do not include the component packages, the latest version of each MongoDB package will be installed regardless of what version you specified.

Note: You can also follow the MongoDB official guide below to install MongoDB v8：

Install MongoDB Community Edition - Database Manual - MongoDB Docs
