Installing the software<br />
This section shows how to install the software on any distribution. To install a specific<br />
distribution, substitute the correct file name <strong>for</strong> the distribution file. For example,<br />
Solaris uses vsun5100.tar.Z.<br />
To start the installation script:<br />
1 Download the appropriate <strong>VirusScan</strong> ®<br />
<strong>for</strong> <strong>UNIX</strong> software distribution from our web<br />
site or insert the installation CD.<br />
If you are using the installation CD to obtain the software, you can mount the CD on<br />
to the file system.<br />
2 Copy the distribution file to a directory on your system.<br />
Note<br />
We recommend that you use a separate (possibly a temporary) directory — not the<br />
directory where you intend to install the software.<br />
3 Change the directory to that containing the distribution file. Use cd.<br />
4 Type this line at the command prompt to decompress the file:<br />
zcat distribution-file | tar -xf -<br />
Here, distribution-file is the file you copied in Step 2.<br />
5 Type this line at the command prompt to execute the installation script:<br />
./install-uvscan installation-directory<br />
Here, the installation-directory is the directory where you want to install the<br />
software.<br />
