Linux - Server Setup Guide

Step 2: Restore the Software

Now that you have created a user and directory for the Omnidex software, you can restore it from the CD you received.

• The UNIX directory contains 6 tar files that need to be ftp'd with a binary transfer to the Omnidex Home directory on the appropriate host, and untar'd. There is only one tar needed per server.
• The following steps may be followed to ftp the files from the CD drive to the appropriate host:
• Log on to the machine and directory in which the procedure should install
• Open a DOS window and be in the directory in which you want the file to reside.
• Switch to the CD drive (example - R:)

R:>ftp
ftp> open your_ host_ box
ftp> binary
ftp> put odxversionhost (example - odx30802_Linux.tar)

• On the host machine, use the command tar -xvf odx30802_Linux.tar to unload the files
• Review this install guide, also provided in the DOCS directory of this CD, for further assistance
• Proceed to “Building the OMNIDEX executables”.
