Installation on Linux

If you will install SSForge on Linux system, you can use following methods to install it:

Install SSForge with Linux/Unix Installer:

    a. Login host with telnet:
    If you can't operate your host where SSForge will be installed directly, you need to use telnet to do the installation work. Use telnet to login SSForge host with your user name and password (The user name and password is your host's user name.  If you don't know, please contact your host provider).  If you want to install programs or manage server with telnet, you need to login with "root" user. Please see How to login Linux host with telnet?.

    b. Download SSForge Linux/Unix Installer:
    Click to download SSForge Linux/Unix installer from our website http://www.ssforge.com , or input command to download with wget. Following example shows how to download SSForge professional Linux/Unix installer file with wget:
        # cd /home
        # wget http://www.ssforge.com/ssforge_pro.run

    If your host where SSForge will be installed can't use wget to download installer file directly, you may need to download it to your computer, then use FTP program to transfer to that host. Make sure to transfer it as binary. If transfer as ASCII, it will show "MD5 checksums error" when installing. After transferring finished, you can use "CD path" command to enter the folder where the installer file is uploaded.

    c. Start installing:
    Before installing, make sure you are logged in as "root" user and your SSForge host already installed GCC.
    Now you can input following command to start installing:
    # sh ssforge_pro.run

    After installing finished, the SSForge server will be also started, and will automatically start when Linux startup.
