Setting Necessary Environment Variables for CONVERGE

First, add the new installation directory to your PATH variable so that the converge executable and associated tools are included in the search path on the machine by typing

 

export PATH=$PATH:/<install directory>/<architecture>/bin

 

For example, for a 64-bit Linux install that used the default installation directory, you would type

 

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/converge-<version>/l_x86_64/bin

 

Second, if the environment variable CONVERGE_ROOT is set in your environment, CONVERGE will first look in $CONVERGE_ROOT/license/license.lic for a valid license.lic file. If this variable is not set, CONVERGE will look for the license.lic file in your present working directory. CONVERGE_ROOT should be set to the install directory. For the case of the default install directory, a valid CONVERGE_ROOT value would be

 

/usr/local/converge-<version>

 

If you do not have CONVERGE_ROOT set, then you must have RLM_LICENSE set to ensure proper licensing behavior.

 

export RLM_LICENSE=2765@<license server hostname>

 

See the license server errors section for more information.
