APPX 5 - Linux/Unix - New Installation

Overview

Two different methods are provided to install APPX on Linux/Unix. There is a GUI installer and a Console Mode (character mode) installer. The same installer is used for both methods. The installer will automatically detect if it is being run as a command or from a GUI Desktop, although in some cases you may have to add "-c" to the command line to force the character installer. Regardless of which installation method is used, the result is the same. A typical APPX installation on a system where APPX has not been previously installed performs the following steps:

1. Creates an O/S user named "appx" and a group named "appxgrp".
2. Creates the destination directory and installs APPX into it.
3. Sets the appropriate permissions
4. Runs APPX to allow you to complete the configuration
   • Add APPX System Administrators to the APPX user file
   • Configure and start the APPX Login Manager service
   • Configure and start the APPX Audit Manager service
   • Install the license key

GUI Installation on Linux/Unix

Log in to your system as the "root" user.

Download the APPX/Linux GUI installer (appxsetup.sh) from the APPX web site or the APPX ftp server and save it to your Desktop or to any other suitable folder. The following instructions will refer to the appxsetup.sh file, which is the name of the Linux installer. The installers for other operating systems have similar names, ie, appxsetup-aix.sh for AIX, appxsetup-sun.sh for Solaris, and so on. if you are downloading directly from the ftp site, make sure you choose the correct installer for your O/S, and substitute your installer's name in the following instructions.

Change the permissions on the downloaded installer file to have Execute permissions.

Run the installer file (appxsetup.sh). If you are presented with a "Run or Display?" screen similar to the one below, click on the "Run" button.

After a few moments, the APPX Setup Wizard should display the Welcome screen. Click on the "Next" button to continue.

Read and accept the license agreement.

Specify the Destination Directory into which APPX is to be installed. As a matter of convention, APPX is usually installed into /usr/local/appx but may be installed into the directory of your choice.

You will be warned if the destination directory already exists. Otherwise, the APPX Setup Wizard will create it.

APPX will then be installed into the specified destination directory.

When the APPX Setup Wizard displays the final screen, click on the Finish button to end the APPX Setup Wizard and to automatically run APPX to complete the configuration and installation of APPX.

When you click on the Finish button, an APPX session will be automatically launched to run APPX to complete the installationof the APPX environment.

Finally, if you intend to log into APPX as user "appx", then you must add a password for the "appx" o/s user that was created by the installer (use the "passwd appx" command).

After completing the above steps, you should be able to login to APPX as user "appx" from a remote desktop using the ADC.

Character Mode Installation

# ./appxsetup.sh -c
