Installing

On the installation CD-ROM the software is located in the directory /install/linux/. Please read the README file for any important last-minute information.

To install SSH Secure Shell, perform the following tasks:

1. Copy the RPM installation package to your machine.
2. If you are installing SSH Secure Shell for the first time, change your working directory to the directory where you have copied the installation package and issue the following command with root privileges:

   rpm -ihv ssh-commercial-server-x.y.z-v.i386.rpm
   

   The command varies a bit according to the software and RPM release version. For example, server might be replaced with workstation, and the letters x.y.z-v should be replaced with the appropriate release number. If you have a previous version of SSH Secure Shell RPMs installed, first uninstall the older version (see section Removing the installation) before installing a newer version.
3. After issuing the installation command, SSH Secure Shell will be installed. You might be asked to accept the License Agreement if you have not done so previously on this particular computer, or if the License has changed from the previous version.
4. The software should now be ready to use. If you already had the Secure Shell daemon running, restart the process by sending a HUP signal or running the startup script with the "restart" argument.
