Running for the first time

Running Identrix for the first time

Before starting identrix for the first time, there are a few things you need to do:

Install your license key

You should have obtained a license key from us through email. The license key is required to run identrix and wil have the form of <company>.<username>.identrix.identrix.<expdate>.license.lic.

• Copy the license key file to the folder where identrix is installed / extracted and where you will be running it from.

• Rename the license key file to license.lic

• Make sure the file has the correct permissions. If you are running identrix from a folder that is not owned by the user that will be running identrix, you will need to make sure the file has the correct permissions.

Create a configuration file

Identrix requires a configuration file to be created before it can be used.

To get started quickly, you can simply copy the default configuration file config.default.yml and rename it to config.yml.

cp config.default.yml config.yml

After that, you can edit the configuration file to match your needs.

Check if basic stuff is working

To check if identrix should work without any errors, you can run the diag command.

identrix diag

Start identrix

Now that everything is set up, you can start identrix by running the start command.

identrix start

if everything is working correctly, you should see a message that says “Identrix is running” in the console.
