To be fair, there are so many Linux distributions that we have not tested them all. We simply do not know if they all work or if there are any issues. When you are trying a Linux version which is not listed as supported then please contact the support desk. We'd like to know when something new is tried, if it works, and how well.
Please make sure that your system meets the requirements we have outlined:
The following Linux distributions have been tested and are reported to be functional:
Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04, 20.04
Arch Linux 2018.10.0
Debian 9
CentOS 7
Make sure your Linux machine has an external IP-address, internal addresses won't work! It must not look like 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x or from 172.16.x.x to 172.31.x.x (f.i. AWS EC2)
To make the HTS platform work on Linux we are using the Mono framework. Since recently Microsoft has taken over the development of Mono and are pushing many updates, some updates work and some updates can give issues.
The versions of Mono have been tested and are reported to be functional:
v5.14.0.177
v5.18.0.240
v5.20.1.19
v6.4.0.198
v6.6.0.161
v6.8.0.123
Mono version 4.x.x and 6.10.x and above have been known to NOT work with the platform. Please make sure you DO NOT install them.
Should you ever need to downgrade your version of Mono, please follow the steps outlined here:
Only downgrade if necessary or recommended by Support.
Our installation begins with installing a version of Mono framework higher than 5.14.x but lower than 6.8.x. This guide assumes that you are using Ubuntu as your main OS.
Make sure you go through these steps as the root user.
Pre-installation of the Mono framework

The installation of HTS itself
This is how we can start the platform
To confirm it's all working use the command below and HTS should be listed on ports 8090 and 8092.
If you need to restart the platform, you can use either of these commands:
or
Ensure that you set the below settings in MainSettings.XML which you can find in /root/HTS/Settings:
<OpenInterfaceOnStartup> to false.
<HostingAdres> to the IP address of the machine that is hosting your platform.
Remember it must not look like 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x or from 172.16.x.x to 172.31.x.x
