I have an Ubuntu machine running Tableau Server. The server is up and running fine at the moment. However, I need to stop it to made some modifications to the server configuration.

When I run tsm stop in my shell, tsm is not found. Another engineer installed Tableau Server on the machine so I'm not very familiar with it.

Where is tsm located in the Tableau files? If it's not on my machine, can I install it easily and separately to the server?

If installing tsm is not possible, how can I stop and start Tableau Server safely while also not restarting the entire machine?

The package installer includes a file you can source to set up paths and other environment variables. The source command can be added to your login shell's configuration, i.e. ~/.bashrc, to happen automatically at login.

$ source /etc/profile.d/tableau_server.sh

The default installation for Tableau server packages includes a long version string. The values used for the current package installation can be read from the environment.bash file.
