If you are using an X Window System or X11, the installer runs in GUI mode by default. Otherwise, the installer runs in console mode. To force a start in console mode, use the following command:
32-bit Linux — ./mcsso_linux32_4.0.1.<xxx>.bin –I console 64-bit Linux — ./mcsso_linux64_4.0.1.<xxx>.bin –I console where <xxx> specifies the three-digit build number.
Task
1 Download one of the following installers to a download directory:
32-bit Linux — mcsso_linux32_4.0.1.<xxx>.bin 64-bit Linux — mcsso_linux64_4.0.1.<xxx>.bin where <xxx> specifies the three-digit build number.
2 Start the installer by entering one of the following commands:
32-bit Linux — root@server <download_dir> # ./mcsso_linux32_4.0.1.<xxx>.bin 64-bit Linux — root@server <download_dir> # ./mcsso_linux64_4.0.1.<xxx>.bin where <download_dir> specifies the name of the download directory
and <xxx> specifies the three-digit build number.
