Install Horizon

Installation from the EverTrust repository

Create a /etc/yum.repos.d/horizon.repo file containing the EverTrust repository info:

[horizon]
enabled=1
name=Horizon Repository
baseurl=https://repo.evertrust.io/repository/horizon-rpm/
gpgcheck=0
username=<username>
password=<password>

Replace <username> and <password> with the credentials you were provided.

You can then run the following to install the latest Horizon version:

$ yum install horizon

To prevent unattended upgrades when running yum update, you should pin the Horizon version by adding

exclude=horizon

at the end of the /etc/yum.repos.d/horizon.repo file after installing Horizon.

After installing, services must be reloaded to take the change into account

$ systemctl daemon-reload

Installing from RPM

Upload the file horizon-2.6.X-1.noarch.rpm through SCP under /root.

Access the server through SSH with an account with administrative privileges;

Install the Horizon package with the following command:

$ yum localinstall /root/horizon-2.6.X-1.noarch.rpm

Installing the Horizon package will install the following dependencies:

  • dialog

  • java-17-openjdk-headless

Please note that these packages may have their own dependencies.

After installing, services must be reloaded to take the change into account

$ systemctl daemon-reload
