Helix TeamHub Testdrive Guide (2020.1 Testdrive)

Installation and licensing

It doesn't take long to get the Helix TeamHub Enterprise Testdrive up and running after the hardware, firewall and operating system prerequisites are met. The entire TeamHub technology stack is bundled in a single operating system package ready to be deployed.

Download the Helix TeamHub Enterprise Testdrive package from Perforce's package repositories. After uploading the package to the server, install the dependencies and the package itself as root.

Alternatively, use the Perforce's package repositories directly to install the package instead of using the dpkg -i command below.

Step 1: Install Packages

Install the dependencies and the package itself as root:

apt-get update
apt-get install postfix bzip2 sudo cron mailutils libgomp1 libnet-ssleay-perl libio-socket-ssl-perl
dpkg -i hth_X.X.X_amd64.deb

Please configure postfix as Internet Site during setup.

Step 2: Configure Helix TeamHub

Every installation, upgrade, or configuration change in TeamHub requires the TeamHub Control utility to reconfigure TeamHub for changes to take effect. To enable all required services after installation, run the following command:

sudo hth-ctl reconfigure

For more information on the TeamHub Control utility, see Controlling Helix TeamHub in the Helix TeamHub Administrator Guide.

Step 3: Connect to TeamHub and provide license information

At this stage, TeamHub is installed and running. You can access it using the following credentials:

  Admin Portal User Portal
URL http://IP_ADDRESS_OF_YOUR_TEAMHUB_SERVER/admin/login http://IP_ADDRESS_OF_YOUR_TEAMHUB_SERVER/login
Company ID hth hth
User ID admin admin
Password admin Passw0rd

You can change these credentials in the Company settings and User preferences forms. For more information, see the Helix TeamHub User Guide.

However, before you can access the dashboard in the TeamHub user portal, you need to enter your license information in the TeamHub admin portal.

To enter license information:

  1. Log in to the TeamHub admin portal as the instance admin user.

    TeamHub displays the license information in the Dashboard view.

  2. Copy the license information you received from Perforce and paste it into the text field.
  3. Click Apply.
