How to manually install Appx on Linux?

*** Change paths to match your site ***

*** This also assumes system user "appx" and group "appxgrp"

*** Execute the following as root ***

# Make the APPX directory and get inside it:

# mkdir /usr/local/appx.427 cd /usr/local/appx.427/

# Fetch the APPX tar balls via wget

# wget https://www.appx.com/ftp/appx/products/appx/server/4.2.7/comm_unx.tgz wget https://www.appx.com/ftp/appx/products/appx/server/4.2.7/data_int.tgz wget https://www.appx.com/ftp/appx/products/appx/server/4.2.7/exec_lin.tgz wget https://www.appx.com/ftp/appx/products/appx/server/4.2.7/link_lin.tgz (link_lin.tgz is optional)

# Un tar the tar files

# tar xzf comm_unx.tgz tar xzf data_int.tgz tar xzf exec_lin.tgz tar xzf link_lin.tgz

# set permissions and ownership of the APPX files and directories:

# Be very careful for typos. These are dangerous commands

# Make sure you understand them and verify they are correct for

# your system before you execute them

chown -R appx:appxgrp /usr/local/appx.427/ chmod -R 775 /usr/local/appx.427/ chmod u+s /usr/local/appx.427/appx chown root /usr/local/appx.427/tools/appxd chmod u+s /usr/local/appx.427/tools/appxd mkdir /usr/local/appx.427/data/PRINT chmod 777 /usr/local/appx.427/data/PRINT

# edit and modify the appx client daemon startup script

# edit /usr/local/appx.427/tools/start-appxd.sh and set

APPXPATH="/usr/local/appx.427/data", and APPX_PORT=8060. APPX_SERVER and APPX_KEYMAP should already be set.

Then start the appxd daemon and you should be able to connect to the server (appxd) on port 8060.

/usr/local/appx.427/tools/start-appxd.sh

You can now connect from a client. If you want a client installed on your linux desktop, then continue below:

# Start your X session. Open a command window.

# The install tool you are about to run requires a # running GUI desktop, so run the following commands # from the GUI command window:

# Fetch the Java based APPX Desktop Client with the wget tool:

# cd /tmp wget https://www.appx.com/ftp/appx/products/appx/client/4.2.7/java_lin.bin sh /tmp/java_lin.bin

Follow the prompts to install APPX Desktop Client 4.2.7. Pay attention to where you install the program. I often will install it at /usr/local/AppxDesktopClient/ When it is installed, execute /usr/local/AppxDesktopClient/AppxDesktopClient

You can now connect in via the APPX DesktopClient's REMOTE tab to connect via TCP/IP, or via the LOCAL tab to connect via the local file system.
