Linux
Linux commonly offers software programs as packages. The Inter-
Con-NetTool software packet for Linux is made available as ’*.rpm’
file. The ’*.rpm’ file can be unpacked and installed using the RPM
Package Manager. The RPM Package Manager is a system that is
used for package management. It can be used in many Linux and
UNIX distributions.
If no suitable Package Manager is available, you can obtain ’*.tgz’ or
’*.deb’ installation files upon request from SEH Computertechnik
GmbH.
The installation of the files depends on the distribution. ’*.tgz’ files
can be extracted directly without the Package Manager in the root
directory. ’*.deb’ files can be extracted using the Debian Package
Manager.
Installation of the ’*.rpm’ Software Packet
Proceed as follows:
1. Log on to your system as ’root’.
2. Enter the following command via the console:
Syntax:
root# rpm -i <complete packet name>
Example:
root# rpm -i InterCon-NetTool-1_8-28.i386.rpm
