- On all installations, a web browser is required in order to display the help.
- Linux users must create symbolic links before DPA - Remote will install properly. See Linux (RPM Method) and Linux (from Source)

#### Procedures

Choose your operating system from the list below to jump to the appropriate installation procedure.

- AIX
- HP-UX
- Linux (RPM Method)
- Linux (from Source)
- Microsoft Windows
- SCO OpenServer
- SCO UnixWare
- Solaris

#### Procedure: AIX

1. If you have previously installed a version of DPA - Remote, remove it by issuing the following command:

   `installp -u digidpar.dpar.obj`

2. Place the downloaded distribution file into the /tmp directory.
3. Enter the following commands:

   `uncompress 40002192_version.installp.Z
   installp -ad /tmp/40002192_version.installp digidpar`

#### Procedure: HP-UX

1. Place the downloaded distribution file into the /tmp directory.
2. Enter the following commands:

   `tar xvf 40002193_version.tar
   /usr/sbin/swreg -l depot /tmp/digidpar.pkg`
   `/usr/sbin/swinstall -s /tmp/digidpar.pkg`

3. Choose the line item, digidpar.
4. Choose Actions > Mark for install.
5. Choose Actions > Install (analysis).
6. In the Install Analysis window, choose OK.
7. Follow the prompts.

#### Procedure: Linux (RPM Method)

1. Place the downloaded distribution file in a directory, such as /usr/src.
2. Verify the following directory exists:

   /usr/src/linux

   if not, create a symbolic link by entering the following command:

   `ln -s /usr/src/linux-(version number) /usr/src/linux`

   where version number is the number of the Linux kernel.

3. All Linux versions except RedHat must create the following symbolic link for the RPM to install properly. Enter the following command:

   `ln -s /usr/src/(RPM source directory) /usr/src/redhat`

   where the RPM source directory is the specific name used by your Linux distribution.

4. Enter the following commands:

   `rpm -ivv 40002188_version.src.rpm
   cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
   rpm -bb digidpar-version.spec
   cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/<arch>
   rpm -ivv digidpar-version.<arch>.rpm`

#### Procedure: Linux (from Source)

1. Place the downloaded distribution file in a directory, such as /usr/src.
2. Verify the following directory exists:

   /usr/src/linux

   if not, create a symbolic link by entering the following command:

   `ln -s /usr/src/linux-(version number) /usr/src/linux`

   where version number is the number of the Linux kernel.

3. Enter the following commands:

   `cd /usr/src
   tar -xvzf 40002188_version.tgz
   cd digidpar-version/sme
   make install
   make link`

Note: It is recommended that you do not remove the source tree, since the makefiles are necessary for the uninstall procedure.

#### Procedure: Microsoft Windows

1. Place the downloaded distribution file in a directory, or on the Windows desktop.
2. Run the executable distribution file. Installation is automatic, and no user intervention is required.

#### Procedure: SCO OpenServer

1. Place the downloaded distribution file into the /tmp directory.
2. Enter the following command:

   `custom -i -p misc:digidpar -F /tmp/40002190_version.bin`

#### Procedure: SCO UnixWare

1. Place the downloaded distribution file into the /tmp directory.
2. Enter the following command:

   `pkgadd -d /tmp/40002189_<version>.pkg`

#### Procedure: Solaris

1. Place the downloaded distribution file into the /tmp directory.
2. Enter the following commands:

   `uncompress /tmp/40002191_version.pkg.Z
   pkgadd -d /tmp/40002191_version.pkg`
