Description

This option is designed to perform easy installation and uninstallation of Charon. You have just to provide the .tar.gz file (kit) location, or .tar or the folder where you extracted the kit if you did and the tool will install all packages. You can also provide a software license kit location if any, .tar or folder, the script will also perform the setup.

The script uses 2 files to store the Charon kit folder and software license kit folder if used. See chapter "Technical part - Scripts and files description" for more.

Notes:

  • Zipped kits will be unzipped automatically (.tar.gz file)
  • .tar files will be removed once extracted into their destination folder
  • If the kit is provided by a .md5sum file and this file is present in the same folder as the kit, the md5sum check will be automatically performed.
  • To display the options available, type "?" and press enter:



  • (info) To upgrade CHARON-AXP or CHARON-VAX, you will need to stop the running emulated machines (AXP and VAX), uninstall the current version and install the new one. Note: if you only upgrade the CHARON Linux utilities kit, you will not have to stop the running emulated machines except if notified in the Release Notes.
  • (warning) To remove CHARON-AXP or CHARON-VAX, you must ensure there is no running emulated machine related to the product: a check for running processes will be done before uninstallation

Fresh installation example

Context:

  • OS is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4
  • We will install Charon-AXP V4.5 Build 155-07 and Charon-VAX Build 165-02
  • License key is based on USB dongle
  • We assume Charon and the Linux utilities have been downloaded to the /charon folder:

 

 

Execute the "menu" command and select option 1:

 

For a fresh installation the setup does not know where you use to store the charon kit so enter the kit location and select the kit you want to install:

The kit will then be unzipped, extracted and installed. In this example, we decide not to install WEBUI

(info) Installation of WEBUI requires additional packages

Charon-AXP is now installed as show below:

We can now proceed with the installation of Charon-VAX:

(info) The program remembers the folder where you stored the kit during installation so you will have just to press enter when asking for the kit location at next installation

We can now leave the installation menu or perform uninstallation if needed.
