  - Installing HCL Traveler on Docker
    Begin here to install Traveler on Docker.
  - Installing the server on Windows™ operating systems
    Begin here to install the server on Windows™.
  - Installing the server on Linux® or AIX® operating systems
    Begin here to install the server on Linux® or AIX®.
  - Installing HCL Traveler on IBM® i
    Several steps are required to install HCL Traveler server on IBM® i operating systems.
  - Installing using a customized JVM on Windows™ operating systems
    You might want to use a customized Java™ virtual machine (JVM) during the installation. For example, if your custom JVM has been enabled to work with a screen reader, such as JAWS for Windows™. Make sure that you use Java 1.8 or later.
  - Installing using a customized JVM on Linux™ or AIX operating systems
    You might want to use a customized Java™ virtual machine (JVM) during the installation. For example, if your custom JVM has been enabled to work with a screen reader, such as JAWS for Linux™. Make sure that you use Java 1.8 or later.
  - Installing in silent mode on Windows™ operating systems
    Follow these steps to perform an automated installation of the HCL Traveler server.
  - Installing in silent mode on Linux™ or AIX operating systems
    Follow these steps to perform an automated installation of the HCL Traveler server.
  - Installing multiple instances of HCL Traveler on Linux® or AIX®
    You can install multiple instances of the HCL Traveler server on Linux® or AIX® operating systems.
  - Installing HCL Traveler for High Availability
    Every server that is to be deployed as part of a HCL Traveler High Availability pool is first deployed the same way you install a stand-alone server.
  - Uninstalling HCL Traveler on Windows and Linux or AIX
    To uninstall HCL Traveler from an HCL Domino® server on Windows or Linux or AIX, use the HCL Traveler uninstallation program.
  - Uninstalling HCL Traveler on IBM® i
    You can remove HCL Traveler files from a Domino® server without deleting the HCL Traveler software from your system.
- Configuring HCL Traveler server
  The HCL Traveler configuration settings are part of the Domino® server document. The first time that the HCL Traveler server is started, it performs any necessary configurations. You might want to perform additional configurations beyond the basics. The following topics describe additional configuration options.
- Administering HCL Traveler
  The HCL Traveler server component functions as a Domino® server add-in task and responds to Domino server console commands. Topics in this section describe common administrative tasks for administering a HCL Traveler server.

Linux® and AIX® operating system considerations

There are considerations to be aware of when installing on a Linux® or AIX® operating system.

You must run the HCL Traveler install and uninstall applications as the root user.
You must run the HCL Traveler utility (travelerUtil) as the root user.
Ensure the Domino® user's password is not expired or it may cause the HCL Traveler installation application to hang. This is because the OS will prompt the installer to change the password.
Running the installer as a user other than root user may cause the install application to hang. In addition, the server may not be able to start after installation due to incorrect file permissions.
If you login to a Linux® system as a non root user and SU to root, you may see an error trying to launch the HCL Traveler installer in UI mode, similar to java.lang.noclassdeffounderror sun awt x11graphicsenvironment. This depends on the system configuration, but you can work around by either logging in to the system using the root user or simply running the installer in silent mode (for more information, see Installing in silent mode on Linux or AIX operating systems).
For AIX you must install unzip from the AIX toolbox for Linux applications.
GUI install on AIX requires using a customized JVM because of a limitation of the openJDK for AIX. See the Installing using a customized JVM on Linux or AIX operating systems article for more details.
AIX 7.1 requires using a customized JVM for silent install.
