You can install API Publish service as a root user or as a non-root user. The example installation path assumes that you are root user. The installation works in a similar way for a non-root user.
Note: The download site has a link to the consolidated build for ABS and API Publish.

On clicking the link, it will download the consolidated build.

On extracting the tar, under the pingidentity folder there will be two folders:
  • abs
  • apipublish
  1. Go to the download site
  2. Click on Select under PingIntelligence API Publish service.
  3. Choose the build and click Download.

Copy the build file to the /opt directory if you are installing the product as a root user. Choose any other location if you want to install the service as a non-root user.
