Step 1: Install the ETS application

When installing the ETS application, you are setting up the translation environment which will support all the language pairs needed to convert your content.

Before you begin

You need to have administrator rights on the machine to run the installation wizard.

About this task

The ETS application has two installation modes: one to setup the machine as a Master host, and another to setup the machine as a Worker host.

Procedure

  1. Open the ETS application installer folder.
    For example:
    • Linux: [disk mount]/SDL ETS 7/Application/SDL_ETS_7_3_x_linux64_installer/
    • Windows: [disk drive]\SDL ETS 7\Application\SDL_ETS_7_3_x_win64_installer\
  2. Launch the setup file:
    • Linux: setup-linux-x64.run
    • Windows: setup-windows-x64.exe
  3. Follow the directions in the setup wizard.
  4. Close the setup wizard when installation completes.

Results

When setup installs the ETS application on the machine as a Master host, it performs a complete installation of all the necessary components to run the following services:
  • Web GUI
  • REST API
  • Q-servers, which manage the translation queue for all language pairs
  • T-servers, which produce the translation for a specific source to target language pair
When setup installs the ETS application on the machine as a Worker host, it performs a partial installation of just the components that are required to run the following services:
  • Q-servers
  • T-servers

What to do next

For multi-server deployment, repeat the steps above for each additional machine. After ETS application installation completes, proceed with installing ETS language pairs on this machine if it will run at least a Q-server or a T-server.
