[edit] Install Alfresco Enterprise Trial

To install your 30-day trial:

1. Change the permissions on the download so that it can be executed using chmod a+x
   You may need to change to root to execute the installer using su (or sudo -s on some platforms that have the super user account disabled by default).
2. Execute the installer:
   ./AlfrescoEnterprise-2.2.0-linux-x86.bin.
   The install wizard for Alfresco Enterprise Network starts.
3. Choose a location to install the trial. If you did not change to root, your home folder is selected by default. If you intend for Alfresco to be run by other users, or to start on startup, change this to a different location. Exit the installer and become root. If you are root, the default of /opt/alfresco-<version> is selected. You can change the location to a suitable alternative, for example /usr/local/alfresco-<version>.
4. Enter an initial password for the MySQL database.
5. Enter a MySQL port. If you already have a MySQL server on your machine you will need to change this. The quick installer cannot use a pre-existing MySQL installation.
6. Enter the name of the local domain. If your Linux machine is on a Windows Active Directory network, change this to be your local domain. Otherwise, use the default of WORKGROUP.
7. Press y and your computer will begin installing Alfresco.
8. Decide if you want to view the Readme.
9. Press y to start Alfresco.
