when I try to run the command &lt;strong&gt;./AxonIvyEngine&lt;/strong&gt; i got the following error: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Cannot start the engine with user 'root'. Please run it with a normal user such as 'ivy'.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How can I fix this issue, is it necessary to create separate user to do it.&lt;/p&gt;</description><atom:link href="https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/3136/engine-installation-on-linux" rel="self"></atom:link><language>en</language><lastBuildDate>Wed, 21 Mar 2018 05:26:43 -0400</lastBuildDate><item><title>Answer by Reguel Wermelinger</title><link>https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/3136/engine-installation-on-linux/3137</link><description>&lt;p&gt;It is in general bad practice to operate a service as root. But it is good practice to run service with a special user for instance to restrict areas where the user is allowed to operate with the file system. 
&lt;strong&gt;So yes, you have to create a separate user to operate the engine securely.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is also covered in our getting stared guide: &lt;a href="https://developer.axonivy.com/doc/latest/EngineGuideHtml/gettingstarted.html#gettingstarted-linux"&gt;https://developer.axonivy.com/doc/latest/EngineGuideHtml/gettingstarted.html#gettingstarted-linux&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Reguel Wermelinger</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 21 Mar 2018 05:26:43 -0400</pubDate><guid>https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/3136/engine-installation-on-linux/3137</guid></item></channel></rss>
