Introduction

This guide provides instructions on installing Ensim® Pro and Ensim Basic 3.7 for Linux® (LS) at the command prompt using the Installer script LWPInstaller_txt.sh.

Note icon

For simplicity, we refer to Ensim Pro and Ensim Basic 3.7 for Linux (LS) as Ensim Control Panel throughout this document.


As an advanced user, you can opt for a text-based installation of Ensim Control Panel by running the Installer script, LWPInstaller_txt.sh, at the command prompt.

To do so, first download the Installer script from Ensim’s FTP server: http://www.ensim.com/support/pro/linux/downloads/LWPInstaller_txt.sh, then run the script with the parameters listed in Table 1.

The script will install Ensim Control Panel on a Fedora™ Core 1.0 server.
