Install HAProxy Enterprise

The following procedure adds package repositories and installs HAProxy Enterprise 1.8r2.

  1. Optional. To verify the integrity of the script before installing, first download the script and its SHA hash to a local directory:

    $ wget https://www.haproxy.com/static/install_haproxy_enterprise.sh
$ wget https://www.haproxy.com/static/install_haproxy_enterprise.sh.sha512.asc

    Then run these commands to verify the checksum of the script against the SHA hash:

    $ gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 0xCA2DF14657C5A207
$ gpg --verify ./install_haproxy_enterprise.sh.sha512.asc

    Check for the output Good signature.

  2. To install HAProxy Enterprise, run the following command, replacing <HAProxy Enterprise Key> with the key you were given when you registered.

    $ wget https://www.haproxy.com/static/install_haproxy_enterprise.sh &&
   sudo bash ./install_haproxy_enterprise.sh 1.8r2 <HAProxy Enterprise key>

  3. Enable and start the HAProxy Enterprise service:

    $ sudo systemctl enable hapee-1.8-lb
