Running the installer

Double-click the installation file.

Keep the following in mind when installing on Linux:

• Specific system libraries are required to run Helix ALM applications on different Linux distributions. You must install these libraries before using the applications to make sure they work correctly. See Checking for Missing System Libraries on Linux for information.
• The following Surround SCM components require a Java runtime: Guiffy (for diffing/merging) and the indexing server. The OpenJDK Java Runtime (OpenJRE) is installed during installation. To change the Java runtime:
  • Surround SCM Client — See Configuring diff/merge application settings.
  • Surround SCM Registry Utility — See Editing Surround SCM Server options and Editing indexing server options.
