E.3.3 How to Install ShowMe TV on Your System

If your AnswerBook2 server is not a network-mounted file server, the ShowMe TV software must be either copied via the FTP program from a server where the files are located, or downloaded from the web site (see "E.3.1 Obtaining ShowMe TV Software"), or loaded from the Solaris Computer Systems Supplement CD. You need to load the files into your /tmp directory so that you can install the software. If you are using the CD, follow the instructions in the accompanying installation booklet.

Instructions for using the ftp command to copy the software from a server are provided below. If you need further assistance, please consult your system administrator.

Note -

If the AnswerBook2 server is also a file server, you can copy the tar file using the Solaris cp command instead of using ftp.

  1. Log in as the root user of your system. You must have root access to your system to install software on it. Type:


    hostname console login: root
password: password

    Or


    hostname% su
password: password

  2. To retrieve the client software via FTP, follow these steps.

    1. Activate the FTP program by typing this command: 


      # ftp servername

      Where servername is the hostname of the AnswerBook2 server.

    2. The FTP program will request that you type in your user name and password:


      Name: username
Password: password

    3. While in the FTP environment, type these commands:


      ftp> binary
ftp> get /smtvtmp/smtv.tar /tmp/smtv.tar
ftp> bye

      The FTP program will close.

  3. To extract the contents of the smtv.tar file, type:


    # tar -xvf /tmp/smtv.tar /tmp

  4. Install the ShowMe TV package. Type:


    # pkgadd -d /tmp SUNWsmtvh SUNWsmtvr SUNWsmtvu

    The packages are installed in your /opt directory by default; however, the pkgadd command gives you the option to select a directory other than /opt.

  5. Log out as the root user. Type:


    # exit

When you have completed the installation, you will need to configure your browser to use the ShowMe TV software. See "E.4.1 Configuring Web Browsers to Use ShowMe TV".
