If the TrueSight Presentation Server computer does not meet the required configuration limits

Before installing the TrueSight Presentation Server, you need to ensure that the target host is configured with the required settings. This configuration is required only if you are installing TrueSight Presentation Server on a Linux computer.

You can change the required configurations either manually or by running the PreinstallConfig.sh script located in the installation directory (with root permissions).

For more information about the configuration settings and the script, see Preparing for the Presentation Server installation.
