Installing the PSM Client Manually
Use this procedure to install the PSM client on Windows (32-bit or 64-bit), Linux, or MAC OS X. A user must have administrator privileges to install the PSM client, but does not need administrator privileges to run the client.
- See PSM Client Requirements.
- On Linux, ensure the package libgnome2.0 is installed. This package is required even if you are not running a Gnome desktop.
- On MAC OS X, ensure you can install applications from all sources. Go to System Preferences >Security & Privacy and select the General tab. Set Allow applications downloaded from: to Anywhere. You might have to unlock the Security & Privacy window to make the change.
- The PSM client is in a compressed file that
is included on the PSM DVD. It can also be downloaded directly
from the PSM server. In your web browser, go to https://<server>:9998/client, where <server> is the IP address of the workstation on
which PSM server is installed. For example:
https://10.10.1.1:9998/client
Enter your username and password if prompted.
There is one compressed file for all supported operating systems: psmclient-xxx.zip, where xxx is the release number.
- Uncompress the file and extract the contents into an applications
folder.
For example:
- On Windows: C:\Program Files\psmclient-xxx
- On OS X: /Applications/psmclient-xxx
- On Linux, install the psmclient where you install other applications.
Note: If you are installing the client on a Windows 32-bit operating system, see Configuring the PSM Server for a 32-bit Windows Client.
To launch the client, see Launching the PSM Client.
This procedure is complete.
