Steps
- Log on to the installation machine with full administrative privileges (typically, root).
-
Create a setup directory for the installer files. For example:
/root/forcepoint_setup
-
Download the Web Linux installer package from the My Account page at support.forcepoint.com. The
installer package is called:
Web85xSetup_Lnx.tar.gz
Place the installer archive in the setup directory you created.
-
Extract the installer files:
In the setup directory, enter the following commands to uncompress and extract files:
gunzip Web85xSetup_Lnx.tar.gz
tar xvf Web85xSetup_Lnx.tar
This places the following files into the setup directory:
File Description install.sh Installation program Setup.bin Archive file containing installation files and documents -
Launch the installer using the following command (from the setup directory):
./install.sh -g
This launches a GUI-based installer and is available on English versions of Linux only. A text-only, command-line version can be launched by omitting the -g switch:
./install.sh
If the installation program displays error messages that it is having difficulty locating other machines, disable any firewall running on the installation machine.
Note:- The following instructions refer to installer screens. In the command-line Linux installer, prompts are displayed that correspond to each screen. Instructions for a screen also apply to the corresponding command-line prompt. The main difference is how options are selected. Rather than clicking items in a screen, you will enter menu-item numbers or characters.
- To cancel the command-line Linux installer, press Ctrl-C. However, do not cancel the installer, after the Pre- Installation Summary screen, as it is installing components. In this case allow the installation to complete and then uninstall the unwanted components.
