I would like to install openkm Comm. Edition 6.3.4 on LinuxMint 17.3.
I created a user openkm and try to install the jar archive using: java -jar OKMInstaller.jar in /home/openkm.
That is the same procedure like in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJrkD2BdAJo
but I get ERROR: Administration rights required to manage services
I don't want to install openkm as root.
What is the recommended way to install openkm on Linux?
Regards
Juergen

You must go to the folder /home/openkm and execute from there the installer, but must execute with root user, because during the installation process the root user will registering services and install packages, that's why you need it.
Do not worry about using root user at the installation step, really the installer will set proper grants to the folders and documents created during the installation ( in your case user openkm ).
