Note

These steps are for performing a fresh installation only. For performing an upgrade, see the upgrade guide

Altair SLC Hub is delivered as an MSI file, downloadable from the World Programming (an Altair Company) Customer Support download site.

Installation set up

The Altair SLC Hub worker node software is installed using the same MSI as the main Hub server software. Run the MSI in the usual manner, making sure to select the "Altair SLC Hub Worker" feature and deselect the "Altair SLC Hub Server" feature.

Verification

Verify use of hubctl command

  • run the hubctl command

Most configuration actions are performed using the hubctl command, which is installed into the bin folder of the Altair SLC Hub installation. The installation process adds the bin directory to the PATH environment variable.

Invoking configuration actions will require administrator permissions. The hubctl application should therefore be used from either the command prompt or PowerShell terminal window running as Administrator.

To confirm Altair SLC Hub has been successfully installed, verify that the following command can be used:

hubctl
This should print the basic help information for the command.
