Installing the Driver: Introduction

Digi Supports two distribution methods for the RealPort device driver package.

CD Method

Use this procedure to install a Digi driver from the Digi CD front end menu. This procedure assumes that you have accessed the Digi RealPort CD and that the front end menu appears on your screen. see Installing the Driver: CD

TGZ Method

This method uses a compressed archive of the source. The TGZ method, while relatively simple, does not have the advantage of the common package management operations of RPM-based packages. It does, however, have the advantage that far more systems will support the TGZ method “out-of-the-box”. To install with this method, see Installing the Driver: TGZ.
