Update instructions

Some remarks:

Instructions
mainly refer to the installation of NX Web Companion on Linux and
Solaris SPARC platforms. However, instructions related to the compressed
TAR package can be extended to apply to the Windows and Mac OS X
platforms.
 
Instructions for Linux are intended to be run from an
xterm or similar and  use the sudo utility. If you don't have it
installed, log on as superuser ("root") and run the commands without
sudo. They also refer  to the 32 bit packages (i386), but can be easily
extended to the 64bit packages (x86_64).
 
To preserve settings specific for your environment, create a backup copy of your DocRoot/plugin/nxapplet.html file beforehand.
 
Finally, note that DocRoot indicates the directory of the Web server out of which you will serve your NX Web Companion.

RPM version for Linux

  • Download the RPM
  • Update your installation:
    $ sudo rpm -Uvh nxplugin-3.5.0-xy.i386.rpm
    $ cp -a /usr/NX/share/plugin  DocRoot
  • Finally edit the DocRoot/plugin/nxapplet.html file to fit your environment.

DEB version for Linux

  • Download the DEB
  • Update your installation:
    $ sudo dpkg -i nxplugin_3.5.0-xy_i386.deb

  • Finally edit the DocRoot/plugin/nxapplet.html file to fit your environment.

TAR.GZ version for Linux
