The CHARON-SSP for GNU/Linux virtual machine software is shipped as a tar, gzip distribution package.  To begin the installation you must first obtain the package archive.  This can be downloaded from Stromasys or distributed by read-only media, such as a CD-ROM.  If you do not have the software package, then please contact either Stromasys or your Value Added Reseller for further help.

To begin, unpack the distribution archive, like so:

Unpack CHARON-SSP Distribution

# cd /tmp
# tar xzvf /path/to/charon-axp-sma-2.2.14-x86_64_rpm.tar.gz

Once the archive is unpacked, change to the directory /tmp/charon-axp-sma-2.2.14-x86_64_rpm.  This is where the remaining installation steps will take place.

All installation steps a required to be performed from a privileged account as denoted by the '#' prompt.

Prerequisites

Before installing the CHARON-SSP virtual machine software, there are some prerequisite software packages to install.  The following sections describe these packages

GNU C Library (i686) Installation

Before installing the Sentinel HASP runtime it is necessary to install the 32-bit compatibility version of the GNU C Library (glibc).  To install this software on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) based systems use the following commands:

Oracle Linux i686 glibc Install Command

# yum install glibc.i686

This should then be followed with output similar to the following:

Installing the Sentinel HASP Runtime

The Sentinel HASP runtime is a necessary software package used to license the CHARON-SSP virtual machine.  Without this package it is not possible to run the CHARON-SSP software.  The RPM package is included in the tar, gzip CHARON-SSP distribution.

To install the Sentinal HASP runtime, use the following commands:

Sentinel HASP RPM Install Command

# yum localinstall aksusbd-2.2.1-1.i386.rpm

The installation process should generate output similar to the following:
