Installing PShop
Installing PShop on your system consists of a few simple steps. You may have
obtained your PShop distribution either from the internet or from a CD-ROM. In
both cases, you should have a PShop distribution file called,
“
<product>-<platform>-<version>”. The file name will vary depending on
the product name, operating system, release number.
Vividata’s installer is a text-based installer and does not require a graphical
interface or user interaction.
Installing PShop from the Distribution File
• For a CD distribution, mount the CD-ROM.
• As root, change to the directory containing the distribution. For a CD, this
is the top level directory; for an internet download, it is whereever you saved
the download.
# su (become root)
# cd /mnt/cdrom (or the saved location for a download)
• Run the self-extracting executable:
# ./<product>-<platform>-<version>
You will see output similar to this:

Files are installed in /opt/Vividata, approximately 16 MB of space is needed
there.
Installing the License Keys
Before you can use PShop, you must install your license key. If you do not have
a license key, please contact Vividata to request your key or make a purchase.
Vividata normally distributes license keys through the Vividata website or by
email. The encoded license key string is typically wrapped within a
self-installing shell script. To install the license key using the self-installing
script, run the script:
