Installing BDT

Perform the following steps to install BDT on Linux:

1. Download the BDT distribution through the link provided by Thales. You can use wget at a terminal prompt.

   wget https://<path to download site>/bdt-2.4.0.tar.gz
   

2. Create a BDT home directory at a convenient location. sudo may be required.

   cd /usr/local/bin
   sudo mkdir bdt
   

3. Extract the distribution to the BDT home directory.

   sudo tar -xzvf <filename.tgz> -C /usr/local/bin/bdt
   

4. Add the Java bin directory path to the PATH environment variable. Edit the .bashrc file (or equivalent for other shells) for the admin user and add the following lines:

   export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/java/jre
   export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
   

5. Verify the installation by ensuring the following directory structure is created in the installation directory.

   Directory	Description
   bin	Contains executable scripts for validating configuration, testing, and execution.
   conf	Contains configuration files such as bdt.config, logging properties, bdt.properties, and bdt.mv.db (H2 database file).
