Digi Supports three distribution methods for the RealPort device driver package.
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
This method uses a source RPM package. The source RPM method depends on rpm tools. If your Linux distribution does not support RPM packages, or if your system does not have the RPM tools installed, you must either locate and install the RPM manipulation tools or use the TGZ method. To install with this method, see Installing the Driver: RPM Methods.
Note: Digi does not support the distribution of the RealPort software via binary RPMs.
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.
