## 2. EKM Path Variables

This guide uses several EKM path variables as shorthand to describe locations of files or directories. In most cases, these variables correspond to environment variables used by EKM for the same purpose. It is not necessary to define these variables before installing EKM - in all cases, where an environment variable needs to be set, explicit instructions will be given to do so.

The following are EKM path variables used in this guide along with their definitions:

- `APACHE_HOME`: The directory where Apache HTTP Server (web server) is installed.

- `EKM_BIN`: Location of EKM supplemental binaries: `EKM_HOME/bin`.

- `EKM_HOME`: The EKM server application home directory: `EKM_ROOT182/ekm-server`.

- `EKM_ROOT`: The base directory for the EKM server. This is shared by all EKM cluster nodes.

- `EKM_ROOT182`: The v182 directory under the EKM server base directory: `EKM_ROOT/v182`.

- `EKM_NODE_ROOT`: The base directory for an EKM cluster node.

- `EKM_NODE_ROOT182`: The v182 directory under the EKM cluster node base directory: `EKM_NODE_ROOT/v182`.

- `EKM_TEMP`: The directory that EKM uses for temporary files.

- `JAVA_HOME`: The directory where the Java Development Kit (JDK) is installed.

- `JBOSS_HOME`: The directory where the JBoss application server is installed.

- `EKMDB_ROOT`: The EKM database server (MySQL) base directory.

- `MYSQL_HOME`: The directory where the MySQL database server is installed.

- `REPOSITORIES_HOME`: The directory containing the EKM repositories: `EKM_NODE_ROOT182/repositories`.
