Installing onto Linux

Important

Check the SuperTrak Read Me file for any issues pertaining to the distribution and version of Linux OS running on your PC or server.

For Linux PCs, Promise offers two different binary files:

•WebPAM PRO and CLI – Installs either or both WebPAM PRO and the CLI

•CLI only – Installs only the CLI

Note that both of these binary files open in a terminal window and both files use the WebPAM PRO installer. The procedure below installs the CLI only. To install WebPAM PRO, see page 47.

To install the CLI onto your Linux PC or server:

1.Boot the PC or server, log in as root, and launch the Linux GUI.

If the computer is already running, exit all programs. If you are not logged in as root, log out, then log in again as root.

2.Insert the Software CD into your CD-ROM drive.

3.Copy the CLI_Installer...linux.bin file from the Software CD \CLI\Linux directory to the /root directory on your PC.

4.Open a terminal window and type sh followed by one space, the exact name of the CLI_Installer...linux.bin file, then press Enter.

After several moments, the first installation dialog box appears.
