Installing and Logging in to STRE

Before Installation

  • Confirm that you have either a Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox internet browser.

  • Extensions applications may require additional hardware and resources, depending on utilization. Consider expanding your resources if heavy use of the application is intended.

  • Verify compatibility with your current TOS version here. If compatible, download the installation file.

    The hardware and software requirements of STRE are identical to those of the TOS version that is installed.

Install Process

These instructions apply if you are:

  • Installing STRE for the first time.

  • Upgrading STRE.

Retrieve Installation File

  1. You can download all Extensions application files, either locally or downloaded to a relevant server, from the Customer Portal Download Center.

  2. From the Download Center, select the Extension to download.

  3. Select the method for downloading the installation package: Download to Computer or Copy link (valid for 10m). Using the link requires the server to have access to download from https://tosportaldownloads.tufin.com.

  4. If you downloaded the package, upload it from your local computer to the primary data node to the directory c:/opt. Upload the file as is; do not extract it first.

  5. If you copied the link, run the following command. If the link has expired, get a new link from the Download Center.

    curl -o reportpack-v<APP-VERSION>-k3s.run “<LINK>”
    curl -o reportpack-v<APP-VERSION>-k3s.run “<LINK>”

    where

    • <APP-VERSION> is the version number as seen in the file name in the Download Center.

    • <LINK> is the link you copied from the Download Center.

Procedure

  1. Using SSH, log into the TOS server.

    If you are installing STRE on RHEL or Rocky Linux, you must log in as a user with root permissions.

  2. Create a directory called /opt/extensions.

  3. Copy the installer run file (already downloaded) to /opt/extensions.

  4. Go to /opt/extensions.

  5. Run the command:

    # sh reportpack-v<VERSION>.k3s.run

STRE is installed in the TOS cluster on the data node.
