Installing on Linux

The installation procedure for the Client is straight-forward. The remote_display directory contains two tar files used on a Linux x86 or a Linux 86-64 system.

1

Place a tar file within your toolworks installation directory if it is not already there. You can install the Client on as many Linux x86 and Linux x86-64 systems as you need, as the Client is unlicensed. This means TotalView can be run from any Client, and more than one person can be running Clients simultaneously. The only licensing requirement is that you have a license for the platform upon which TotalView will run. Of course, the number of users who can run TotalView simultaneously is specified in that product’s license.

2	Type tar xvf name_of_remote_display_file.tar. This creates and populates a remote_display/bin directory.

3	Add the remote_display directory to your PATH environment variable. If you place this directory in your PATH, typing remote_display_client.sh invokes the Client.
