2. INSTALLATION OF ARKEIA 5
===========================

Installation of Arkeia 5, using an "rpm" package:

Arkeia 5 is supplied in standard ".rpm" package files. To install a
package, enter the following command as root on a prompt:

	rpm -Uvh <name of the rpm file>

For more information on the "rpm" command, please check its man pages
with the command:

	man rpm

By default, the installation command indicated above will install the
components of Arkeia 5, and all related files, in the following
directory on your hard disk:

	/opt/arkeia

PLEASE DO NOT INSTALL ARKEIA 5 ON A MACHINE WHERE ARKEIA 4.X IS ALREADY
INSTALLED!!!

(Trust us: this will probably cause unnecessary pain and anguish)

PLEASE NOTE:

A complete list of platforms supported by Arkeia is at:
http://www.arkeia.com/compatibility/os/anb/

To install Arkeia 5 on other versions of Linux, please refer to the
manuals that were supplied with your version. Most of the time, the
".rpm" file can be installed on any version of Linux, provided the "rpm"
utility has been ported to it.

Installation of Arkeia 5, using a ".tar.gz" package:

For most UNIX operating systems, Arkeia supplies a ".tar.gz" package.
This package can also be installed on Linux systems that do not support
the "rpm"-style packaging.

To install this package on your system, simply enter the following
commands as root:

	tar -xvzf <name of the .tar.gz file>
	cd <name of the installation directory>
	./install

The last command will start the installation procedure for Arkeia
version 5. The installation program may request some information to
complete its procedure. If you do not how to answer, just press the
"ENTER" key on your keyboard to select the default value. Most of the
default values have been chosen in such a way that the installation will
proceed correctly.

All other remarks indicated in the previous paragraph, on the "rpm"
installation, also apply to the installation with the ".tar.gz" package.
