7804e Manual 14
Most Sealevel Linux software is distributed as source code. To use the software, it must
be compiled. Refer to the README file in each package for system prerequisites.
You must have administrative privileges to install the software. It is not necessary to
have administrative privileges to build or use the software.
All command syntax is case sensitive.
1. Insert the Sealevel media into your PC.
2. If your desktop environment does not auto-mount the media, you will need to do so
manually using the mount command. You may need administrative privileges for
the mount command to succeed.
3. Next change to the Sealevel media directory. For example, if the mount point of
your optical drive is /cdrom:
$ cd /cdrom/Software/SeaCOM/Linux
4. Copy [package name].tar.gz to your home directory by typing:
$ cp seacom_X.Y.Z.tar.gz ~
5. Change to your home directory by typing:
$ cd
6. Extract the software from the compressed archive by using:
$ tar -zxvf seacom_X.Y.Z.tar.gz
7. Change to the package directory by typing:
$ cd seacom
8. Compile the software from source by typing:
$ make
9. Elevate permission level by changing to root:
$ su
Or use the „super user do‟ command:
$ sudo –s
10. Install the software by typing:
$ make install
