Install SPS on Linux or Solaris

SPS supports installations on Linux and Solaris.

On Linux, the folder where you install SPS must have sufficient permissions (755). Do not install SPS under the /root folder, because its default permissions (750) are insufficient.

On Solaris, SPS runs as the "nobody" user. If you prefer not to run SPS as this user, create an alternate user and assign the necessary permissions.

Follow these steps:

1. Copy one of the following programs from the download location on the CA Support site to a temporary directory:

   Solaris: ca-proxy-12.5-sol.bin
   

   Linux: ca-proxy-12.5-rhel30.bin
   

2. Enter one of the following commands:

   sh ./ca-proxy-12.5-sol.bin
   

   sh ./ca-proxy-12.5-rhel30.bin
   

3. Follow the screen prompts provided by the installation wizard.
