user1@linuxhelp:/tmp$ source ~/.bashrc
user1@linuxhelp:/tmp$ sudo ln -s $JAVA_HOME /usr/local/java
user1@linuxhelp:/tmp$ sudo ln -s $CATALINA_HOME /usr/local/tomcat
user1@linuxhelp:/tmp$ sudo ln -s $GTS_HOME /usr/local/gts
Edit and open the Config.conf file with the below command.
user1@linuxhelp:/tmp$ nano /usr/local/OpenGTS_2.6.2/config.conf
While executing the above command, just uncomment the below lines
Db.sql.user=gts Db.sql.password=opengts
Save the file and exit. Verify that $CATALINA_HOME has a folder apache-tomcat.
user1@linuxhelp:/tmp$ ls -l $CATALINA_HOME
If recursive link is exist, then unlink it to avoid the compilation problem.
user1@linuxhelp:/tmp$ unlink /usr/local/apache-tomcat-8.5.5/apache-tomcat-8.5.5
Here you need to compile the OpenGTS.
user1@linuxhelp:/tmp$ cd $GTS_HOME

Q
How do I debug exactly how the GTS is choosing pushpins to display on the maps?
A
There are many configuration options that can control how a pushpin is displayed on a map. If you have added new pushpins, or have modified the configuration in order to change the way pushpins are selected for the map, it is sometimes useful to debug exactly what code path is being used to select a pushpin for a map location.
Q
What OS platforms are supported by OpenGTS?
A
1.Linux (Fedora, CentOS, Debian, Gentoo, Ubuntu, etc)
2.Mac OS X (Leopard, and Snow Leopard)
3.FreeBSD
4.OpenBSD
5.Windows (XP, Vista, 20XX server, etc)

Q
How do I change the displayed language translation?
A
This can be changed in the 'private.xml' file. On the "Domain" tag, change the "locale" to the desired 2-letter country code. For example, to change the language to German, set the Domain "locale" attribute to 'locale="de".
Q
How do I limit the number of devices that an account can add?
A
To limit the number of devices that an Account can create, first set/uncomment the following property in your "config.conf" file, and rebuild/redeploy "track.war
