Linux Archive Installation

Navigate to the desired installation directory, ensuring you are running as the desired user and extract the archive using the tar command. For example:

tar -xf Helix-QAC-<version>-Linux.tbz2

Other options of tar can also be used such as -C to specify the installation location. See tar ‑‑help for more details.

Depending upon the user’s set-up you may want to update your PATH environment variable to include the Helix QAC executables. For example:

export PATH=/home/trinity/Perforce/Helix-QAC-<version>/common/lib:$PATH
You MUST set the HELIX_QAC_LOCATION environment variable before using the Eclipse plugin - see 'Using a specific version of Helix QAC' in the respective manual on how to set this.
No plugins (VS Code, Eclipse) are automatically registered/installed. See the respective manuals for details on how this can be done.
