The Jamf Pro Installer for Linux installs Apache Tomcat, the Jamf Pro web app, and Jamf Pro Server Tools.

Note:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux does not provide technical support for Tomcat 10 or compiling Tomcat 10 manually. However, Tomcat 10 is installed automatically by the Jamf Pro installer and has been tested by Jamf.

  1. Copy the Jamf Pro Installer for Linux (jamfproinstaller.run) to the server.
    Note:

    To obtain the installer, go to the Jamf Pro Download page in the Jamf Account portal.

  2. Log in to the server as a user with superuser privileges.
  3. Initiate the installer by executing a command similar to the following:
    sudo sh /path/to/jamfproinstaller.run
  4. If your server has less available disk space than recommended to install Jamf Pro, you will be prompted to either continue or abort the installation process. Type “y” to proceed or “n” to abort.

    You can bypass the disk space check by executing the installer with the -d flag. Execute a command similar to the following:

    sudo sh /path/to/jamfproinstaller.run -- -d
  5. When the requirement check is complete, type "y" to proceed.
  6. Configure Jamf Pro to start automatically when the server is rebooted:
    1. Check the state of the Tomcat service's “enabled on boot” setting by executing the following command:
      sudo systemctl is-enabled jamf.tomcat.service
    2. If the result indicates the Tomcat service is “disabled”, enable the service permanently by executing the following command:
      sudo systemctl enable jamf.tomcat
    3. Confirm the “enabled on boot” setting is "enabled" by executing the following command:
      sudo systemctl is-enabled jamf.tomcat.service
    4. If the Tomcat service is not already running, you can start the Tomcat service manually by rebooting the server or by executing the following command:
      sudo systemctl start jamf.tomcat
