Installing the SAP HANA Studio on a Linux ECS

This section describes how to install the SAP HANA Studio on a Linux ECS.

Prerequisites

  • You have prepared related resources. For details, see section "Preparing Resources".
  • You have created ECSs, formatted disks attached to them, and installed the SAP HANA.
  • The firewall on the target ECS has been disabled.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the SAP HANA Studio ECS with an elastic IP address bound as user root using the key file.
  2. Upload the obtained installation package to the /hana/shared directory on the ECS where the SAP HANA Studio is to be installed and decompress it.

    Enter the directory where the installation file is stored. For example, if the installation file is stored in /DATA_UNITS/HDB_STUDIO_LINUX_X86_64, run the following command:

    cd /DATA_UNITS/HDB_STUDIO_LINUX_X86_64

  3. Assign operation permissions to the directory where the installation packages are stored.

    For example, if the directory is HDB_STUDIO_LINUX_X86_64, run the following command:

    chmod 777 -R HDB_STUDIO_LINUX_X86_64

  4. Switch to the directory and perform the installation. The SAP HANA Studio installation page is displayed.

    ./hdbsetup
