Installing on Linux

Note

You should install as an unprivileged user on Linux.

Installing from a CD-ROM

To install Kapow Web Data Server, insert the CD-ROM and mount it. Usually, the mounting is done like this:

#cd /mnt #mount cdrom

Note: You may need to be root to mount the CD-ROM.

After this, start the installation program as follows:

#cd /mnt/cdrom #sh kwds_7_0.bin

Then, follow the instructions in the installation program.

Installing from a Downloaded Installer

You will have received instructions on how to download the installer. Download and save the kwds_7_0.bin file to your hard disk. After the download is completed, start the installation as follows:

#sh kwds_7_0.bin

Then, follow the instructions in the installation program.

Installing on a Headless Computer

If you are installing on a headless computer (a computer without an X window system) you can install using the console installer. The console installer is included in the standard installer; you start the headless installation program as follows:

#sh kwds_7_0.bin -i console

This applies to both the CD-ROM and the downloadable installer.
