Linux Version Installation
Before you begin
The procedure for installing KVM ACCESS on a Linux system is similar to that for Windows, but there
are Java considerations to note.
• If Java isn't already installed, download from the Java web site:
http://java.com
Installation instructions are provided on the Java download page.
• To determine the Java version on your system, open a terminal and enter the following:
java -version
If the version is earlier than JRE 6, Update 11, install JRE Version 6, Update 11 or higher.
• Make sure PATH and JAVA_HOME environment variables point to the new version in your /root/
.bash_profile file. For example:
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.6.0_0-b11
PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH:./
BASH_ENV= $HOME/.bashrc
USERNAME= "root"
export JAVA_HOME PATH BASH_ENV USERNAME
• If the original Java version is still used and the new version is not recognized, correct it.
a. Copy the KVM ACCESS Setup_Linux.bin file from the distribution CD to your hard drive.
b. Go to the directory where the KVM ACCESS Setup_Linux.bin file is located.
c. Enter the following commands:
export LAX_DEBUG=1
sh KVM ACCESS_Setup_ForLinux.bin
Note: If the installation program starts, cancel it.
d. Look for the line that begins: Using VM....... to see to which Java version is defaulting.
e. If the Using VM entry shows a file named java in the old Java version directory, go to that
directory and delete the java file or rename it.
f. Log out and log back in.
