Question

Install AUSST on Linux Server?

In the AUSST installation video, Karl mentions that AUSST can be installed on Mac, Windows, or Linux. Does anyone have any idea of how this is done? I have pulled the python scripts from the Mac package and attempted to run them, but have had no luck in doing so.

    Hi,

    AUSST does not officially support Linux and is Windows and Mac only. The statement on the video is inaccurate and should have been removed a long time back. My apologies that this has lead to some open questions around what platforms are officially supported. In the short term I will have the video updated in the long term we know the direction we would like to take AUSST (which includes Linux support) however we have other items on the backlog which have a higher priority and will have a greater impact for our user's so I cannot yet commit to a date when AUSST will officially support Linux.

    Cheers

      Thanks Karl. I do appreciate you reaching out to clarify this. I'll spread the word to my other online forums where this information is being discussed. Looking forward to the new direction of AUSST!

      Thanks,

      Zach

        EDIT: Added vimeo video tutorial. http://vimeo.com/57973290

        Okay! I'm working on OSX. Trying to get this on Ubuntu Server.

        I am still waiting for Adobe to get back to me but in the meantime I have done some tinkering.

        Basically, you just need to copy the Resources folder inside the AUSST tool (Show package contents).

        Click on "Show Original" to anything that looks like an alias inside and replace with the original content. (I think this is the "includes" folder and the "config" subfolder under lib).

        From there you have to edit the main AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool2.0.py and delete line 33 "from version import *", you also have to remove the "%(ToolVersion)" on line 1351. I just discovered this from trying to run python and getting traceback errors.

        From there, I think you can use the tool like normal. In ubuntu server I ran a command in bash like "python AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool2.0.py --root=/home/serveradmin/test/" (where "serveradmin" is MY username, and "test" is the folder to store the downloads,  your config may differ).

        I can confirm this then gets the files downloading. I am not at a stage where I have tried setting up apache to host this out. Just a start!

        Ideally Adobe would have had MUCH better documentation if they mention it can be run off Linux in their Enterprise video!

        I have also made a video I can post to vimeo showing these steps, should anyone request!

        Best of luck!

        James
