This section describes the steps for installing eXo Platform by Native Installer on Linux where you do not have a graphical interface.

  2. Enter the folder where you want to install eXo Platform.

    Welcome to the eXo Platform Enterprise Setup Wizard.

    	Installation folder
    
    	Please, choose a folder to install eXo Platform Enterprise
    
    	Select a folder [/home/exo/exo-platform-enterprise]: 
    	

    The default called $NATIVE_INSTALLER_DIR is: /home/exo/exo-platform-enterprise.

  3. Enter the required information for your account:
