sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https
echo "deb https://www.plasticscm.com/plasticrepo/stable/debian/ ./" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plasticscm-stable.list
wget https://www.plasticscm.com/plasticrepo/stable/debian/Release.key -O - | sudo apt-key add -

2. Install Plastic SCM

Choose the Plastic SCM installation that best fits your needs:

2.1. Installing Plastic SCM Cloud Edition

If you'd like to install Plastic SCM Cloud Edition, please add the Plastic SCM repository normally and then run this command: 

sudo apt-get install plasticscm-cloud

When the install process is finished, run "plasticgui" command. The first time the application is launched, a configuration form will be shown to enter your Plastic SCM Cloud Edition Subscription credentials in order to push/pull code from your organization.

2.2. Installing Plastic SCM default installation (complete, server, or client) 

sudo apt-get install plasticscm-complete

If you want to customize your Plastic SCM installation, we encourage you to go through our package list to find out which configuration suits you best. The plasticscm-complete package will get you a default Plastic SCM installation, but you can also choose from these:

  • plasticscm-complete: the whole Plastic SCM experience!
    • plasticscm-client-complete: would you like all our client tools? Choose this package, then!
      • plasticscm-client-core: only command line client utilities.
      • plasticscm-client-gui: our awesome GUI applications (plasticgui, gluon and mergetool). You've got to try them!
    • plasticscm-server-core: the rock-solid Plastic SCM server, built on .NET Core and managed with systemd.

2.3. Installing Plastic SCM DVCS Packages

If you'd like to install Plastic SCM DVCS packages, please add the Plastic SCM repository normally and then run this command: 

sudo apt-get install plasticscm-dvcs

When the install process is finished, run "plasticgui" command. The first time the application is launched, a configuration form will be shown. Enter your on-premises Plastic server location (host:port) or leave default "local" string to start using Plastic with your local, personal Plastic server.

2.4. Installing Plastic SCM Proxy

If you'd like to install Plastic SCM Proxy Server, please add the Plastic SCM repository normally and then run this command: 

sudo apt-get install plasticscm-proxy-server

The proxy server will be up and running after install, listening on port 8085.

A service named plasticscm-proxy-server will be created on the system.

2.5. Installing a particular version of Plastic SCM

If you want to install a Plastic SCM version different than the latest one, you need to specify the version for every package.

In the following command, replace the Plastic SCM version number in orange with the one you want to install: 

sudo apt-get install plasticscm-complete=11.0.16.7608 plasticscm-server-complete=11.0.16.7608 plasticscm-client-complete=11.0.16.7608 plasticscm-client-core=11.0.16.7608 plasticscm-client-gui=11.0.16.7608 plasticscm-theme=11.0.16.7608 plasticscm-server-core=11.0.16.7608

Note that we only keep a few versions in our repository. So installing an older specific version using this method may not be possible.

If you already have a Plastic installation in your server machine, you can also downgrade the server version via the zip installer. Go to the More installers section on the downloads page.

If you replace the server binaries with the version included in the zip, you will be able to downgrade the version.
