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.
