10
Installing Avid Illuminate on CentOS
The installation of Avid Illuminate on CentOS is completed through the operating system’s CLI
(command line interface). The processes listed below assume that the host machine has access to
the Internet. Public network access is required to download certain software packages and to
activate the software.
Preparing the Software Package
Before you can start the installation, you must obtain the Avid Illuminate software and copy it to
your CentOS system. The following packages are provided by Avid:
Avid Illuminate Language Pack For example: IntlEnglishTeleUniversal-<version>.tgz
Avid Illuminate avid-illuminate-<version>.tgz
To prepare the software package:
1. Create a new directory for the Avid Illuminate software. For example:
mkdir /avid
2. Download and copy the Avid Illuminate software packages to the new directory. There are
multiple ways to complete this task, but the following two file transfer methods are common:
Through a USB drive connected directly to the host.
Through the use of a secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) client. WinSCP (Windows)
and muCommander (Mac) are free, open-source clients that can securely copy files
between Linux and Windows or Mac operating systems. FileZilla, another free open-
source utility, can be used in the same way and has the advantage of being available for
both Windows and Mac.
3. Navigate to the directory containing the Illuminate software packages. For example:
cd /avid
4. Unpack the avid-illuminate-<version>.tgz software package. For example:
tar -zxvf avid-illuminate-3.0.0.108.tgz
The following files and directories are unpacked:
avid (Directory containing the Avid Illuminate software)
INSTALL (Text file with basic install steps, created in the Markdown language format)
java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless-1.8.0.77-0.b03.el6.avid.3.x86_64.rpm
Installing Prerequisite Software
There is one prerequisite software package needed to run Avid Illuminate on CentOS:
Java — Bundled with Avid Illuminate
Complete the following steps to install the required software.
To install the system prerequisites:
11
1. Avid Illuminate requires Java 8 SE JRE (openjdk v1.8.x) 64bit. Enter the following
command to verify the current version of Java:
java -version
If java is not installed, the command replies with the following message:
-bash: java: command not found
Proceed to the next step to install Java.
If the command reports information similar to the following, the correct version of Java
is already installed:
openjdk version "1.8.0_77"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_77-b03)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.77-b03, mixed mode)
Proceed to Installing the Language Pack
Language packs are used for performing comparisons of text and speech and are used in the SDH
(caption) measurements.
To install the Language Pack:
1. In this release, the language pack(s) must be installed in a specific directory on the CentOS
host. Use the following command to create the required directory:
mkdir /opt/nexidia
2. The language files are delivered in a compressed .tgz format. Prior to activating Avid
Illuminate, you must uncompress and copy the language files to the
/opt/nexida
directory:
tar -zxvf /<path>/<language_pack_filename> -C /opt/nexidia
The -C option directs the files to be extracted to a location other than the current directory.
As an example, the completed command might look like the following:
tar -zxvf /avid/IntlEnglishTeleUniversal-9.0.0.193899.tgz C
/opt/nexidia
3. If you have additional language packs, repeat the above command as necessary.
Activating Avid Illuminate on page 12.
If the command reports that an older version of Java is installed, proceed to the next
step to upgrade Java.
4. If you are not already in the directory containing the Avid Illuminate software, navigate to
the correct location. For example:
cd /avid
5. Use the package bundled with Avid Illuminate to install or upgrade Java:
yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless-1.8.0.77-0.b03.el6.avid.3.x86_64.rpm
The yum command verifies that all dependencies to install the package are met and a
summary of the proposed actions is printed to the screen:
Transaction Summary
12
==========================================
Install 1 Package (+4 Dependent packages)
Total size: 103 M
Total download size: 1.1 M
Installed size: 105 M
Is this ok [y/d/N]:
Note: If the machine does not have internet access, the dependency check and installation
process might fail. If this occurs, you must either temporarily allow internet access or manually
download and install the required dependencies.
6. When prompted, type “y” to download any dependent packages and install the software.
The java package and any required dependencies are installed. The following is an example
of the completed install process:
Installed:
java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless.x86_64 1:1.8.0.77-0.b03.el6.avid.3

3. You are now ready to run Avid Illuminate. For more information on system operation, see
the User‘s Guide at \avid\illuminate\doc.
14
Installing Avid Illuminate for Docker
Docker is an open-source technology platform that can be used to deploy applications in insulated
containers where the host operating system becomes irrelevant. To obtain this flexibility, the
common platform, Docker, is first installed on a host OS such as Microsoft Windows, MacOS,
CentOS, or other. The application, Avid Illuminate in this example, is built in containers that
interact with the platform (Docker) and not directly with the OS. This abstraction layer allows
the same “container-ized” application to run on any operating system, as long as the host has the
Docker shared platform software installed first.
For more information about Docker and container technology, see https://www.docker.com/
.
For the purposes of this document, CentOS is used as the host operating system and commands
are issued through the CLI (command line interface). The procedures below assume that both
CentOS and Docker have been installed and configured.
Verify the Docker installation
Before you begin to install and configure Avid Illuminate, verify that the Docker service is
running by entering the following command:
service docker status
The system should report information similar to the following:
[user@wavd-cent7 ~]# service docker status
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status docker.service
* docker.service - Docker Application Container Engine
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/docker.service; disabled;
vendor preset: disabled)
Active: active (running) since Thu 2017-05-25 15:50:31 EDT; 8min ago
Docs: https://docs.docker.com
Verify that Docker reports a status of loaded and active.
Preparing the Software Package
Before you can start the installation, you must obtain the Avid Illuminate software and copy it to
your host system. The following packages are provided by Avid:
Avid Illuminate Language Pack For example: IntlEnglishTeleUniversal-<version>.tgz
Avid Illuminate avid-illuminate-<version>.tgz (contains the Docker image file:
avid_illuminate_<version>.docker.tgz)
Dockerfile Not used during the standard installation process, this file can be used to create a
new Docker image. This file is designed for use by advanced users only and is generally not
reccomended for use unless instructed to do so by Avid Customer Care.
To prepare the software package:
1. Create a new directory for the Avid Illuminate software. For example:
mkdir /avid
15
2. Download and copy the Avid Illuminate software packages to the new directory. There are
multiple ways to complete this task, but the following two file transfer methods are common:
Through a USB drive connected directly to the host.
Through the use of a secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) client. WinSCP (Windows)
and muCommander (Mac) are free, open-source clients that can securely copy files
between Linux and Windows or Mac operating systems. FileZilla, another free open-
source utility, can be used in the same way and has the advantage of being available for
both Windows and Mac.
3. Navigate to the directory containing the Illuminate software packages. For example:
cd /avid
4. Unpack the avid-illuminate-<version>.tgz software package. For example:
tar -zxvf avid-illuminate-3.0.0.108.tgz
The following files and directories are unpacked:
avid (Directory containing the Avid Illuminate software)
avid_illuminate_<version>.docker.tgz (Docker image file)
INSTALL
(Text file with basic install steps, created in the Markdown language format)
java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless-1.8.0.77-0.b03.el6.avid.3.x86_64.rpm
5. Avid Illuminate for Docker requires you to identify three directories to be used by the
application:
Media This directory can be used to store media, captions/subtitles, and test
specifications.
Log Files – Identify a directory that can be used to write log files
Language Packs Identify a directory that can be used to store the language pack files
If you do not already have a directory structure created, create the required folders now. For
example:
mkdir /avid/media
mkdir /avid/log
mkdir /avid/language
Note: The base language pack directory can be created anywhere on the system. However, the
directory is later mapped to /opt/nexidia/LanguagePacks when executing the Docker run
command.
6. If you have more than one language pack, create subdirectories for each language in the base
directory:
mkdir /avid/language/french
mkdir /avid/language/spanish
7. After you have defined the directory for the Language Packs, you must uncompress and
copy the language file(s) to the appropriate directory:
tar -zxvf /<path>/<language_pack_filename> -C /<path>
The -C option directs the files to be extracted to a location other than the current directory.
16
As an example, the completed command might look like the following:
tar -zxvf /avid/IntlEnglishTeleUniversal-9.0.0.193899.tgz C
/avid/language
8. If you have additional language packs, repeat the above command as necessary, extracting
each into a different subdirectory of the base langauge pack directory created above.
Loading Avid Illuminate
The next step in the process is to load the Illuminate container and specify some configuration
values.
To load Illuminate into Docker:
1. If you are not already in the directory containing the Avid Illuminate software, navigate to
the directory now. For example:
cd /avid
2. Use the Docker load command to allow the Illuminate image file to be accessed:
docker load -i avid_illuminate_<version>.docker.tgz
The image file begins to load:
34e7b85d83e4: Loading layer [=================>] 199.9 MB/199.9 MB
5f0dddc4fd30: Loading layer [=================>] 519.2 MB/519.2 MB
e66514a9bfed: Loading layer [=================>] 229.7 MB/229.7 MB
Loaded image: avid/illuminate:3.0
This process might take a few moments to complete.
3. Use the Docker
run command to start Illuminate and configure the software to use the
directories you created in the previous steps. Line breaks have been added to the following
command for additional clarity:
docker run -it --name illuminate-bash
-v /<path_to_media>:/docker/<path_to_media>
-v /<path_to_logs>:/opt/avid/illuminate/var
-v /<path_to_languages>:/opt/nexidia/LanguagePacks
--entrypoint /bin/bash avid/illuminate:3.0
Where the following variables are used:
Variable Description
<path_to_media> The directory you created or defined to store media,
captions/subtitles, and test specifications.
<path_to_logs> The directory you created or defined to write log files.
<path_to_languages> The directory you created or defined to store the language pack files.
This command instructs Docker to start (run) the container with an interactive (-it) user
interface. The
--name option tells Docker to assign "illuminate-bash" as the container name.
The
–v options mount host directories to Docker directories to allow file exchange. The --
17
entrypoint option instructs Docker to open a bash prompt and "avid/illuminate:3.0"
defines the name of the image to create the container from.
The following is an example of the completed command (line breaks removed):
docker run -it --name illuminate-bash -v
/avid/media:/docker/avid/media -v /avid/log:/opt/avid/illuminate/var
-v /avid/language:/opt/nexidia/LanguagePacks --entrypoint /bin/bash
avid/illuminate:3.0
