1.
Log on to the installation machine with full administrative privileges (typically, root).
2.
Create a setup directory for the installer files. For example:
/root/forcepoint_setup
3.
Download the Web Linux installer package from the My Account page at support.forcepoint.com. The installer package is called:
Web85xSetup_Lnx.tar.gz
Place the installer archive in the setup directory you created.
4.
Extract the installer files:
In the setup directory, enter the following commands to uncompress and extract files:
gunzip Web85xSetup_Lnx.tar.gz
tar xvf Web85xSetup_Lnx.tar
This places the following files into the setup directory:
File
Description
install.sh
Installation program
Setup.bin
Archive file containing installation files and documents
5.
Launch the installer using the following command (from the setup directory):
./install.sh -g
This launches a GUI-based installer and is available on English versions of Linux only. A text-only, command-line version can be launched by omitting the -g switch:
./install.sh
If the installation program displays error messages that it is having difficulty locating other machines, disable any firewall running on the installation machine.

Note 
The following instructions refer to installer screens. In the command-line Linux installer, prompts are displayed that correspond to each screen. Instructions for a screen also apply to the corresponding command-line prompt. The main difference is how options are selected. Rather than clicking items in a screen, you will enter menu-item numbers or characters.
* 
Note 
To cancel the command-line Linux installer, press Ctrl-C. However, do not cancel the installer, after the Pre-Installation Summary screen, as it is installing components. In this case allow the installation to complete and then uninstall the unwanted components.
