 It is recommended to locate all Charon kits in the same folder as this menu will remind the last folder you used in the previous session (if not, you will be prompted to select the folder)

Notes:

• Zipped kits will be unzipped automatically (.tar.gz file)kit files will be uncompressed automatically
• .tar files will be removed once extracted into their destination folder
• If the kit is provided with a .md5sum file and this file is present in the same folder as the kit, the md5sum check will be automatically performed.

• To upgrade Charon-AXP or Charon-VAXPAR, you will need to stop the running virtual machines (AXP and VAX), uninstall the current version and install the new one.
  
  • If you only upgrade the Charon Linux Toolkit, you will not have to stop the running virtual machines except if notified in the Release release notes document.  
• To remove Charon-AXP or Charon-VAXPAR, you must ensure there is no running virtual machine related to the product
• The installation log will be stored in the /opt/Charon/log folder with names yum.install.<date> (name is given at the end of the installation process)
