There are two methods of installing CDP Enterprise Server:
- Automatic – Adding the R1Soft packages repository to Aptitude or yum configuration when installing CDP Enterprise Server using apt-get or yum
- Manual – Downloading the R1Soft binary packages and installing them using dpkg or rpm
All four package managers – apt-get, yum, dpkg, and rpm – are Linux console applications. They can be started in a remote SSH session, in a GUI terminal window (Konsole in KDE, Gnome Terminal in Gnome, etc.), or on the Linux text console.
 | Note PuTTY is the recommended SSH client. PuTTY allows you to paste text from the Windows clipboard by pressing the right mouse button. You can download PuTTY here: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html |
After the installation is complete, a reboot is not required.
Establish an SSH connection to the Linux server or log in on the Linux text console. You should either log in as root or obtain root permissions after logging in via the su or sudo command.
