Then follow these steps:
OverviewTwo different methods are provided to install APPX on Windows. There is a GUI installer and a Console Mode (character mode) installer. Most sites will use the GUI Installer, the character mode installer is intended for sites using Windows Core Server (Windows without a GUI). 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:
GUI Installation on WindowsLog in to your system as an administrative user. Download and run the APPX GUI installer (appxsetup-windows.exe) from the APPX web site or the APPX ftp server. After a few moments, the APPX Setup Wizard should display the Welcome screen. Click on the "Next" button to continue. If you are presented with a Security Warning dialog, click on the "Run" button to continue with the installation.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 C:\appx but may be installed into the drive and directory of your choice, but do not choose a directory with spaces in the name. You will be warned if the destination directory already exists. Otherwise, the APPX Setup Wizard will create it. The APPX Setup Wizard can optionally create a Start Menu. You must specify the appropriate options. If you don't know what to specify on this screen, simply accept the recommended options by clicking on the "Next" button to proceed with the installation. APPX will then be installed into the specified destination directory. Finally, you may specify whether or not you want the APPX Setup Wizard to create a shortcut on your desktop and/or a quick launch icon on the taskbar. After specifying the appropriate options, click on the "Finish" button to end the APPX Setup Wizard. Character Mode InstallationIf you are running Windows Core Server, you can run the Appx installer in character mode by appending "-c" to the command line. After a few moments, the Appx Setup Wizard should display the Welcome message. Press Enter to continue the installation.

OverviewTwo 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:
GUI Installation on Linux/UnixLog 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 APPX500NewInstallConfigAPPX of 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 InstallationIf you don't have access to a GUI, you can run the Appx installer in character mode by appending "-c" to the command line. After a few moments, the Appx Setup Wizard should display the Welcome message. Press Enter to continue the installation.
On some systems the Java based installer may fail to run with a notice as shown below even though you are supplying the -c argument. In this case, make sure you have dejavu-sans-font package installed, and also that you have a non headless version of a JRE available to the installer. You can do that with the following yum command on RHEL8.
yum install dejavu-sans-fonts java-1.8.0-openjdk

APPX Linux/Unix - APPX 5 Upgrade InstructionsThis page provides the information needed to upgrade an existing APPX 4.2.a Linux/Unix installation to APPX 5.OverviewWarning - These instructions specifically apply to upgrading from APPX 4.2.a to APPX 5. If you are upgrading from an older release of APPX, these instructions may not be applicable. You should consider upgrading to APPX 4.2.a first and then upgrading to APPX 5. To upgrade your existing APPX Linux/Unix installation from APPX 4.2.a to APPX 5, you must complete the following steps:
Preliminary Tasks
Convert Your System Administration FilesThe first step of upgrading your APPX 4.2.a installation to APPX 5 is to convert your System Administration files to the new APPX 5 format. The System Administration files for APPX 4.2.a are not compatible with APPX 5 and must be converted to the APPX 5 format.Install the Upgrade ApplicationGUI InstallationLog in to your Linux system as the "root" user. Download the installer for the APPX 4.2.a to APPX 5 upgrade application (APPX4to5upgrade_linux.sh for Intel based computers running Linux, or Appx4to5upgrade_risc.tar.gz for RISC based computers) from the APPX web site or the APPX ftp server and save it to your Desktop or to any other suitable folder. Change the permissions on the downloaded installer file (APPX4to5upgrade_linux.sh) to have Execute permissions.Run the installer file (APPX4to5upgrade_linux.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 4.2 to 5.0 Upgrade Application Setup Wizard should display the Welcome screen.

Specify the Destination Directory into which the upgrade utility is to be installed. The directory that you specify must be the directory where APPX 4.2.a is installed on your system. As a matter of convention, this directory is usually "/usr/local/appx/". The APPX Upgrade Application (5SA Version 00) will then be installed into the specified destination directory. When the installation wizard displays the final screen, click on the Finish button to end the installation wizard. Character Mode InstallationIf you don't have access to a GUI you can run the this installer in character mode by appending "-c" to the command line. After a few moments, the Appx Setup Wizard should display the Welcome message. Press Enter to continue the installation.

Installation Instructions This conversion utility is an Appx application that will read your existing 4.2 System Administration files and write new 5.0 System Administration files into a work directory. Once Appx 5.0 is installed you can copy the System Administration files from this work directory into place as your live System Administration files. Here are the steps involved in installing and using this utility 1. Install conversion application into your current appx installation path. 2. Add application 5SA version 00 in System Administration - Applications. 3. Add database 5SA connected to Application 5SA 00 in System Administration - Databases. 4. Process the Data Dictionary for application 5SA 00. 5. Create data files for Database 5SA, application 5SA. 6. Run application 5SA, database 5SA and follow the on screen instructions. Choose the location for the installation. Where should Appx 4.2 to 5.0 Upgrade Application be installed? [/usr/local/appx/] The files will then be copied to your hard disk. When this is finished, you are ready to continue with 'Configure the Upgrade Application' Configure the Upgrade ApplicationAfter installing the Upgrade Application, you must run APPX as an APPX System Administrator and configure the Upgrade Application. Add the upgrade application (5SA 00) to the Applications file.Create the Design Files for Application 5SA. APPX should report "File Already Exists" for each file. If not, the application was not installed in the correct location. Repeat the installation steps above, specifing the correct location Add the database (5SA) for the Upgrade Application to the Databases file. Run Database Management for the Upgrade Application and Database. Run Create Files. Run the Upgrade ApplicationAfter configuring the Upgrade Application, you must run the Upgrade Utility to convert your System Administration files. Click on the "Convert" button to run the conversion utility.The conversion utility will create a log. Specify the appropriate disposition options to print the conversion log. The conversion log will inform you of any problems that may have been encountered while running the conversion utility. Install the Upgraded System Administration FilesYou are almost ready to install Release 5 on top of your existing installation. Before actually installing APPX, you should:
Install APPX 5.0.0Now follow these steps to install APPX 5.0.0:OverviewTwo 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:
GUI Installation on Linux/UnixLog 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 APPX500NewInstallConfigAPPX of 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 InstallationIf you don't have access to a GUI, you can run the Appx installer in character mode by appending "-c" to the command line. After a few moments, the Appx Setup Wizard should display the Welcome message. Press Enter to continue the installation.
On some systems the Java based installer may fail to run with a notice as shown below even though you are supplying the -c argument. In this case, make sure you have dejavu-sans-font package installed, and also that you have a non headless version of a JRE available to the installer. You can do that with the following yum command on RHEL8.
yum install dejavu-sans-fonts java-1.8.0-openjdk
Could not display the GUI. This application needs access to an X Server.
*******************************************************************
You can also run this application in console mode without
access to an X server by passing the argument -c
