Prerequisites

To install Photon, you need the following:

• The ability to use the command line to navigate directories and run executables
• Credentials to connect to a DARE server, either running remotely or installed locally
• A directory to put the installation files. Put this where it makes sense for you. If you don't want to install with sudo, place it in your home directory somewhere.

If you don't have a DARE server

Marketcetera provides a test server at the following URL:

• URL: dare.marketcetera.com
• Port: 7010

Steps to install Photon

1. Download the Photon binary for your operating system.

2. Use your terminal to change to the directory where you downloaded the shell script that contains the binary.

3. Run the script. To do so, either make it executable or run something like

   $ bash ./Photon_linux_amd64_4_1_1.sh

   If the script succeeds, Marketcetera opens an install wizard.

4. In the wizard, enter the directory where you want to install.

After the install finishes, open the application:

1. Open the application by searching for Marketcetera in your system toolbar or by running the Marketcetera.desktop file that has been created in your install directory.

2. Log in to your DARE server. The default credentials are as follows:

User	Password	Description
trader	trader	Normal trading functions, no admin functions, read-only FIX Session permissions
traderAdmin	traderAdmin	Supervisory permissions on trader, no admin functions except for FIX Sessions
admin	admin	No trading functions, all admin functions
