APPX 5 - Linux/Unix - New Installation

Overview

Hay modos diferentes para instalar APPX en Linux/Unix. Hay un GUI installer y un Console Mode instalador (caracter mode). El mismo instalador es usado para los dos metodos. O instalador automaticamente va a detectar si esta rodando como un comando o como un Java Client, pero en algunos casos usted tendrá que adicionar "-c" en la linea de comando para forzar el instalador (caracter mode). Independentemente del metodo usado, el resultado es lo mismo. Una instalación tipica de APPX en un sistema donde APPX no fue instalado previamente va seguir los seguintes pasos:

1. Crear un usuario en un O/S "appx" y un grupo "appxgrp".
2. Crear un directorio de destinacion y instalar APPX en el.
3. Fijar las permissiones apropriables
4. Rodar APPX y asegurse que usted complete la configuracion
   • Agregar APPX System Administrators a APPX user file
   • Configurar y rodar APPX Login Manager service
   • Configurar y rodar APPX Audit Manager service
   • Instalar el registro de APPX
