install
You can install NetQ with a single command or you can perform the individual steps using multiple commands. Generally, using the single command option is strongly recommended. However, the individual commands can be useful for troubleshooting the installation process when it fails.
You can use these commands only after bootstrapping the physical server or VM. Refer to netq bootstrap.
netq install cluster activate-job
Activates a NetQ instance after an initial server cluster (master and two worker nodes) is configured and installed. Activation requires a configuration key that can be obtained from support.
Alternately, use netq install cluster full to perform this and all other steps of a NetQ installation with a single command.
