Installation

The SMPP Router can be installed on Redhat

or Debian distributions, or derivatives. These instructions provide two options for installing SMPP Router on a server.

Installation - Option A

Login to your server and run the following to download and install the latest version of SMPP Router:

sudo apt update && \
sudo apt install -y tar apache2-utils jq && \
mkdir -p smpprouter && \
cd smpprouter && \
wget https://melroselabs.com/repo/smpprouter/opMLSMPPRouter_latest.tar.gz && \
tar -xzf opMLSMPPRouter_latest.tar.gz && \
sudo ./install.sh

Installation - Option B

Alternatively, follow the below steps for a basic installation: 

1. Create smpprouter directory under the user directory USERDIR.

2. Copy opMLSMPPRouter binary into USERDIR/smpprouter directory.

3. Create configuration smpprouter.conf (see Configuration ).

4. Create systemd service (updated USER and USERDIR). See Systemd below.

5. Copy licensing files to USERDIR/smpprouter directory (license.json, license.sig). See Licensing for how to obtain licensing files.

6. Reboot host.

 The SMPP Router will automatically start when the host has rebooted.

Optionally, the service can be configured to automatically restart in the event of a failure.
