Installing SSH Tectia Software

This section introduces how SSH Tectia Client and Server are installed on the x86-architecture Linux or the Linux on IBM System z platform.

You can find the installation packages on the web or on the installation CD-ROM, where they are located in the /install/linux/ directory.

The installation packages of SSH Tectia products are compressed into installation bundles. There are separate installation bundles for the different Linux platform architectures.

There are two bundles for each supported operating system version, the commercial version (-comm) and the upgrade and evaluation version (-upgrd-eval). The commercial versions require that you also purchase a license. The evaluation versions can be used for 45 days with a temporary evaluation license included in the bundle.

For evaluation purposes, we recommend downloading an online installation package from the web:

Go to http://www.ssh.com/downloads
Under Evaluation Versions, select SSH Tectia Client and Server.
Register and select the relevant product version.
Study the license agreement, and if you approve, click Accept and continue.
The SSH download service sends a verification code to your e-mail. Copy the code from e-mail to the Email-Address Verification window on the download site, and click Complete registration and download.
Download the selected SSH Tectia products. Save the compressed files to your disk.
Proceed to the installation. See the instructions for SSH Tectia Client and Server per platform in the following sections.
