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. 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
    $ cp -a /usr/NX/share/plugin DocRoot
  • Finally edit the DocRoot/plugin/nxapplet.html file to fit your environment.

TAR.GZ version for Linux

  • Download the TAR.GZ in the /usr directory
  • Update your installation:
    $ sudo tar -P -zxvf nxplugin-3.5.0-xy.i386.tar.gz
    $ cp -a /usr/NX/share/plugin DocRoot
  • Finally edit the DocRoot/plugin/nxapplet.html file to fit your environment.


SPARC.GZ version for Solaris

  • Download the SPARC.GZ
  • Update your installation by running as root:
    # pkgrm NXplugin

    # cp -a /usr/NX/share/plugin DocRoot
