Linux Component Installation

The installation packages for the components are supplied as executable .sh files. For headless Linux installations, there are also .run files which use the legacy installer. The .sh version has a GUI and is the recommended installer for non headless installations. Examples of the .sh installer names are:

QACPP-4.2.0-Linux.sh
RCMA-1.6.0-Linux.sh
ASCM-1.0.0-Linux.sh

Installation can be performed as either Root or Standard User. The main difference between the installations is the location inside which the product is registered:

• Under a Root installation, the product is registered inside
  /etc/Perforce.d/installed_packages.
• Under a Standard User installation, the product is registered inside
  ~/.config/Perforce/installed_packages.

The default installation directory is set as follows:

• For Root:
  /opt/Perforce.

• For a Standard User, it is ~/Perforce with the .sh installer or the current working directory with the .run installer, with all files being extracted to a new sub-directory beneath it.
