You can install the software using a GUI, a "silent" installer, or (on Linux and Solaris) an interactive command-line interface.
For information about platform support such as operating systems, cloud-based and Kubernetes support, Make versions, eMake emulation, databases, bitnesses, and Visual Studio versions, see CloudBees Accelerator Supported Platforms.
Supported Deployment Models for ElectricAccelerator Components
Not all combinations of the Cluster Manager, agents, and eMake components can be installed on the hosts in your cluster. Following are the supported combinations:
-
Cluster Manager, agents, and eMake on a single host
-
Cluster Manager and eMake on one host, and agents on other hosts
-
Cluster Manager on one host, and eMake and agents on other hosts
Installing the Cluster Manager and agents on one host with eMake on a separate host is not supported.
Cluster Manager and Agent Installation Location Limitations
Electric Cloud does not support installation of the Cluster Manager or agents on the following:
-
NFS
-
CIFS
-
Samba shares
32-Bit Versus 64-Bit Versions
-
On Windows and Linux, the installer file always installs both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of eMake. On Solaris, it installs only the 32-bit version.
-
64-bit executables are installed in a subdirectory of
<InstallDir>/<arch>64/bin.-
For example, on Linux, if you install in
/opt/ecloud, the executables are installed in/opt/ecloud/i686_Linux/64/bin. The installer creates a link from this directory to/opt/ecloud/i686_Linux/bin. -
For example, on Windows, if you install in
C:\ECloud, the executables are installed inC:\ECloud\i686_win32\64\bin. The installer creates a link from this directory toC:\ECloud\i686_win32\bin.
-
-
64-bit libraries are installed in a subdirectory of
<InstallDir>/<arch>64/lib.-
For example, on Linux, if you install in
/opt/ecloud, the executables are installed in/opt/ecloud/i686_Linux/64/lib. The installer creates a link from this directory to/opt/ecloud/i686_Linux/lib. -
For example, on Windows, if you install in
C:\ECloud, the executables are installed inC:\ECloud\i686_win32\64\lib. The installer creates a link from this directory toC:\ECloud\i686_win32\lib.
-
-
32-bit executables are installed in a subdirectory of
<InstallDir>/<arch>32/bin.-
For example, on Linux, if you install in
/opt/ecloud, the 32-bit executables are installed in/opt/ecloud/i686_Linux/32/bin. The installer creates a link from this directory to/opt/ecloud/i686_Linux/bin. -
For example, on Windows, if you install in
C:\ECloud, the executables are installed inC:\ECloud\i686_win32\32\bin. The installer creates a link from this directory toC:\ECloud\i686_win32\bin.

-
32-bit libraries are installed in a subdirectory of
<InstallDir>/<arch>32/lib.-
For example, on Linux, if you install in
/opt/ecloud, the 32-bit executables are installed in/opt/ecloud/i686_Linux/32/lib. The installer creates a link from this directory to/opt/ecloud/i686_Linux/lib. -
For example, on Windows, if you install in
C:\ECloud, the executables are installed inC:\ECloud\i686_win32\32\lib. The installer creates a link from this directory toC:\ECloud\i686_win32\lib.
-
-
The agent installer automatically determines whether to install the 32-bit or 64-bit agents based on the machine architecture. No user action is required.
-
The Accelerator installer automatically sets the path to the appropriate bitness (32-bit or 64-bit) for your platform. To use 32-bit on a 64-bit machine (such as when you need to do 32-bit builds), you must edit the environment variable path to include the 32-bit bin location before the
/opt/ecloud/i686_Linux/binlocation.
Downloading the Accelerator Software
Sign in to https://cloudbees.sharefile.com, then browse to Folders > Shared Folders > products > Accelerator > release_ version > build_number > platform, and then click the appropriate installer file to download it.
For example, sign in to https://cloudbees.sharefile.com, then browse to Folders > Shared Folders > products > Accelerator > release_11_0 > 11.0.0.84351 > linux, and then click the ElectricAccelerator-11.0.0.84351-Linux-x86_64-Install file to download it.
