Multi-node Upgrade -- Run Setup


Run Setup

  1. Log on as a user with sudo access to the initial node in the cluster.
  2. Navigate to the directory where you copied the .rpm or .debTableau Server package.

  3. Use the package manager to install the Tableau Server package.

    You must install the new version to the same location as the existing version. The install location must be the same on all nodes. Do not install to a location using a symbolic link or to a directory on a Network File System (NFS) volume.

    • On RHEL-like distributions, including CentOS, you have the option to install Tableau to a non-default location.

      • Default location—To install to the default location (/opt/tableau/tableau_server), run the following commands, where <version> is formatted as major-minor-maintenance (ex: 2019-2-5):

        sudo yum update

        sudo yum install tableau-server-<version>.x86_64.rpm

      • Non-default location—To install to a non-default location, you must use rpm -i. You will also need to install all dependent packages. See the note below.

        Run the following command:

        sudo rpm -i --prefix /preferred/install/path tableau-server.rpm

      Note: When you use yum to install Tableau Server, all dependent packages are automatically downloaded and installed. This is the preferred method for installing Tableau. If you want to install to a non-default location, or your organization does not allow you to use yum and you must install using rpm -i, you must also install all dependent packages separately. For information about installing dependent packages, see Installing Tableau Server on an Air-Gapped Computer Running Linux.

    • On Ubuntu, run the following commands, where <version> is formatted as major-minor-maintenance (ex: 2019-2-5):

      sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get -y install gdebi-core
sudo gdebi -n tableau-server-<version>_amd64.deb
