Deployment instructions for Docker - no GUI, just server

1. Install Docker.

Use this URL, https://docs.docker.com/install/

choose your operating system and install;

2. Unpack

Unpack “neaPay_demo_delivery_******.zip” to the same folder where folder jre1.8 was created. 

E.g. C:/neaPayHSMSimulator/sim_HSM_HOST

3. Build and start Server

Go into folder ISS_auth and run

start_neaPay_Docker.sh

Deployment instructions for JAVA 7

1. Deploy java 1.7 runtime environment to your system and use it as default. Java SE 7 Archive Downloads. 
Alternatively, if you cannot do that, download jre1.7 from our website as a zip https://neapay.com/delivery/jre1.7.zip. In this case, unpack jre1.7.zip to the folder where the simulator will be deployed. E.g. C:/neaPaySimulator/jre1.7 

For Mac use this link to download the jre1.7 from our website: https://neapay.com/delivery/jre-7u80-macosx-x64.tar.gz

2. Stop previous instances of the ISO8583 simulator. 

3. If the received archive has an extension of *.zip.neaPay, rename the file and remove the .neaPay extension, so the extension will be .zip. (E.g. rename neaPay_demo_delivery.zip.neaPay to neaPay_demo_delivery.zip) 

4. Unpack “neaPay_demo_delivery.zip” to the same folder where folder jre1.7 was created. 

5. Go into folder ISS_auth and run start_neaPay.bat. For MAC and Linux use start_neaPay.sh. Press the Start button at the top and it will show a message that it is waiting for a connection. That means it has started . 

6. Go into folder ACQ_client and run start_neaPay.bat. Press the Start button at the top and it will show messages of files being loaded, and then a transaction window name "Transactions List".
