Installing using the Linux Installer

To install your product, be sure the System Requirements are met before you proceed.

Installation Steps

1. From the Downloads site, download the Linux installer script (install*.sh) for MSS.

2. Enable execute permissions for the installer: chmod 744 install*.sh

3. Ensure that an operating system firewall is not blocking any required ports and that masquerading is enabled.

4. With elevated privileges (for example, sudo), run the Linux install script (.sh) to install the product.

5. A PGP key is used to verify that the file you are downloading has not been manipulated by a third party. If the displayed signing information represents a known and trusted entity, such as Micro Focus, then enter y to install the public key and continue.

   Alternatively, refer to this Knowledge base article to download the key separately and verify the file.

6. When the installation completes, a verification tool is automatically executed.

7. If verification succeeds then the services will start automatically; continue with the next step.

   If verification fails, see Troubleshooting the Linux installation.

Troubleshooting the Linux installation

Symptom: "Permission denied" messages with references to "zgrep" in the output.
Possible fix: Check that the AppArmor profile for zgrep is not too restrictive for the verification process.

Once the issues are addressed and sudo cspctl verify runs without errors, run sudo cspctl start to start the system. Then run sudo cspctl enable to have the system start automatically after server restarts.

If issues remain, please contact Customer Support for assistance.
