Hi sneha,

You're installing the Insight client on a remote system - is that for testing an OMERO server also installed there?

In general, I would expect the Insight client on client systems with access to e.g. imaging data, which then connect to a remote OMERO server.

To progress past the error you're seeing to open the Insight client, you'll need an X11 server (and a window manager) which your AWS instance doesn't have at the moment. It may be possible to install it or could try to open the application with a local install of X11 on your local system using a method called X11 forwarding.

See examples like https://unix.stackexchange.com/question ... s-remotely

Best,

Kenny

Hello Kenny

I appreciate your response. We are trying to implement OMERO in our company .
Initially I started to install OMER Server from following link but I'm not sure about it.
https://docs.openmicroscopy.org/omero/5 ... ice36.html

Can you please provide any documents to implement OMERO Server,Client from scratch.




Thanks,
sneha

Hi sneha,

Our system administrator documentation at https://docs.openmicroscopy.org/omero/5 ... index.html contains all you will need to get going with an OMERO server install.

See "OMERO.server installation" - pick a walkthrough, such as "OMERO.server installation on Ubuntu 16.04" like you already tried, and follow it step-by-step.

If you are stuck on any particular section, you can get in touch with the community here, as you already have.

Cheers,

Kenny

Also, if you take a look at https://docs.openmicroscopy.org/omero/5 ... index.html - this might give you a better overview of the OMERO overall system architecture.

e.g. OMERO.insight which you were trying to run in your first post is one of the "Clients" shown on the diagram there.

All the best,

Kenny

Hi Sneha,

Did you download and unzip the OMERO server zip as the omero system user?

It looks like the OMERO system user doesn't have permissions to the OMERO distribution directory.

ls -l will show the ownership.

If that is indeed the problem, watch under each section in the install instructions for the bold "The following steps are run as" - and make sure you run each step as the relevant user.

Best,

Kenny

Hi Sneha,

Yes, there definitely are minimum requirements.

See the System Administrator documentation - two important pages "System requirements" and "Version requirements".

https://docs.openmicroscopy.org/omero/5 ... index.html

Best,

Kenny
