Install Collibra Platform Self-Hosted

This section describes the installation of Collibra Platform Self-Hosted.

Note Air-gapped Edge users must install with Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) enabled. (See the Linux root user FIPS-enabled and Linux standard user FIPS-enabled tabs below.)

Tip 

There is no graphical user interface for the installer. The full installation procedure is executed via the command line.

For each question, the default selection is always suggested between square brackets. Press Enter to accept the default selection. If there is a Yes or No question, the upper-case character is the default selection, for example, in [Y/n] the default selection is Yes.

Installation Steps

  • Linux root user FIPS-enabled
  • Linux standard user FIPS-enabled
  • Linux root user
  • Linux standard user
  • Windows
Note  If you want to configure the init daemon on Linux systems, you have to execute an unattended installation. For more information, go to the unattended installation configuration parameters.

Note Verify the infrastructure is set to run in FIPS mode. Before proceeding to the directory selection, confirm that the underlying infrastructure has FIPS mode enabled at the OS level. If the OS is not in FIPS mode, the installer will fail to initialize the necessary security modules.

  1. Run the installer:
    Linux as user with sudo rights: sudo ./dgc-linux-2026.xx.xx.sh -- --fips.
    Linux as root user: ./dgc-linux-2026.xx.xx.sh -- --fips.
  2. Enter the Installation directory and press Enter.
    The default location on Linux is /opt/collibra.
  3. Enter the Data directory and press Enter.
    The default location on Linux is /opt/collibra_data.
  4. Press Enter to each of the presented components that you want to install.
    If you don't want to install a specific component, press n followed by Enter.
    Note We recommend that you have 4 dedicated nodes: one for the Data Governance Center service and Search service, one for Collibra Console, one for the Repository service, and one for Jobserver if applicable. Make sure that you have a fast network between the nodes.

    Also make sure that you use the same installer version on all nodes. You can find the installer version of your environment at the bottom of the sign-in window of Collibra Console, for example 2025.10.0

  5. Press Enter to confirm your selection.
  6. If you have selected Repository, Jobserver and/or Collibra Console, enter the location where the most stable version of PostgreSQL 14.x is installed. (See Prepare the servers for installation for more information.)

    7. Tip The default 14.x path on RHEL/Rocky/CentOS is /usr/pgsql-14.

  7. Enter the necessary configuration for each of the selected services.
    After the last configuration, the installation of the services automatically starts.
