The eG Installation Guide - eG Innovations

Installing and Configuring on Unix
This script will install the eG manager. The eG manager must be executed by a
separate user. If you have already installed the eG agent, both the manager and
agent must use the same user accounts and must be installed in the same directory.
Enter the name of the eG user [egurkha]:
3. Enter the directory in which the eG manager should be installed [/opt] :
Next, the installation process prompts the user to choose the path of the directory in which the eG
manager is to reside. If possible the eG manager should be installed in the /opt directory. If
space considerations preclude this, the eG manager can be installed in any other directory on the
system. At the end of the installation process, a symbolic link is created to link the installation
directory (eg., /usr/egurkha) to the /opt/egurkha directory.
Also, specify the group to which this user account should be associated. The default value taken is
“egurkha”.
Enter the group to which the eG user is to be associated [egurkha]:
Note:
a. An existing user and/or group can be specified during this step.
b. The installation process checks for the existence of the user and/or group, and creates a
new user or group only if necessary.
c. If the eG agent has been installed on the same system, use the same user and installation
directory for both the manager and the agent.
4. Would you like the eG manager to auto-restart on system boot-up? y/n [n] :
The install process will now request the user to confirm installation of the auto-restart feature.
This feature will enable the manager to start automatically every time the system hosting the
manager reboots. Now, press y to install the auto-restart feature, or n to proceed without installing
the same.
5. Upon successful completion of the installation process, the following message will be displayed:
********************************************************************
