Unix-Like Deployment

Last modified: January 11, 2024

1 Introduction

Mendix can be installed on-premises on systems running Unix-like operating systems. The installation consists of the following:

For a list of the operating systems which are currently supported, see Operating System in System Requirements.

Installation on other Unix-like operating systems is possible, but these have not been tested and cannot be supported by Mendix.

The documentation describing the installation and basic configuration of the Mendix software on a Unix-like system is available as part of the m2ee-tools helper program: https://github.com/mendix/m2ee-tools/tree/develop/doc/README.md.

Specific Mendix versions require specific versions of the buildpack. For more information, see Supported Mendix Versions.

To activate your license key, follow these steps:

Open the interactive m2ee console.
Use the command show_license_information to display a generated server ID.
Use the server ID to obtain a license key from Mendix (see Licensing Apps for information on requesting a license key).
Activate your license on the server using the activate_license m2ee command.
