The Mbedthis AppWeb install distribution for LINUX is published
in two formats
-
an RPM format
- a tar format for custom/self installs
It is recommended that you use the RPM format if your system
supports the RPM package standard.
The RPM format will register the software installation with
the system's RPM manager so that you can query, verify, and
easily manage the software on your system. The self-install
format consists of tar archives that you can manually extract
for maximum control over the placement of the product files.
You can however, still use the install script with the self-install
distribution if your system does not support RPM.
Both distribution images contains a binary distribution, documentation and samples in the one package. During installation
you will have the option of installing the full distribution or just portions..
