Installing SSH Tectia Client on Linux

SSH Tectia Client for Linux platforms is supplied in RPM (Red Hat Package Manager) binary packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux. There are separate packages for Linux versions running on the 32-bit x86 and the 64-bit x86-64 platform architecture.

The online installation package contains the RPM installation files and the license. On the installation CD-ROM, the installation packages for Linux are located in the /install/linux/ directory.

Two packages are required: one for common components of SSH Tectia Client and Server, and another for specific components of SSH Tectia Client.

To install SSH Tectia Client on Linux, perform the following steps:

Select the installation package according to your Linux version.
When installing on SUSE or Red Hat Linux running on the 32-bit x86 architecture, select the following packages:
```
ssh-tectia-common-<ver>.i386.rpm
ssh-tectia-client-<ver>.i386.rpm 
```
When installing on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 running on the 64-bit x86-64 architecture, select the following packages:
```
ssh-tectia-common-<ver>.x86_64_rhel3.rpm
ssh-tectia-client-<ver>.x86_64_rhel3.rpm
```
When installing on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 or 5 running on the 64- bit x86-64 architecture, select the following packages:
```
ssh-tectia-common-<ver>.x86_64_rhel4.rpm
ssh-tectia-client-<ver>.x86_64_rhel4.rpm
```
In the commands, <ver> is the current package version of SSH Tectia Server (for example, 5.3.0-123).
Install the packages with root privileges:
```
# rpm -Uvh ssh-tectia-common-<ver>.<arch>.rpm
# rpm -Uvh ssh-tectia-client-<ver>.<arch>.rpm
```
In the commands, <arch> is the platform architecture i386 or x86_64.
