Select a different initial FAS version

The deployment package contains by default a recent FAS version in the directory fredhopper-releases. In case this is the version you want you can skip this step. If not follow the instructions in this step to install an older or newer FAS version.

These steps are only intended for changing the version in the initial setup before bin/setup-cluster has been executed. Please follow the documentation on upgrading the FAS version when upgrading from one version to newer version.

1. Login to the indexer machine and change to the Fredhopper Platform installation directory
2. Download the required FAS version from the Fredhopper Extranet and save it into the directory fredhopper-releases in the Fredhopper installation folder
3. For every machine in the cluster execute the following steps, filling in the host name of the machine for $DA.
4. You will need to amend fas-assembly-X_Y_Z.zip in the command line to the upgrade number of the FAS assembly you wish to upgrade to. e.g. fas assembly 8.4.0 would be fas-assembly-8.4.0.zip
   1. Uninstall the default FAS version.
      Unix:

      $ bin/deployment-agent-client --location http://$DA:8177 uninstall FAS
      

      Windows:

      c:\fredhopper> bin\deployment-agent-client --location http://$DA:8177 uninstall FAS
      

   2. Install the downloaded FAS version:
      Unix:

      $ bin/deployment-agent-client --location http://$DA:8177 install --name FAS fredhopper-releases/FASX_Y_Z.zip
      

      Windows:

      c:\fredhopper> bin\deployment-agent-client --location http://$DA:8177 install --name FAS fredhopper-releases\fas-assembly-X.Y.Zzip
