4. To download the .depot file, you need approximately 25MB of disk space
(PA-RISC); 70MB (Integrity); 70 MB (Source Code). To install the software from
the .depot file, you need an additional 60 MB disk space (PA-RISC); 100 MB
(Integrity and Source Code). The download file runs on both Workstations and
Servers. After installing the software, you can remove the .depot file. Download
the software into a location with adequate space. We'll use the directory /tmp in
our example.
5. To verify that the file downloaded correctly, at the UNIX prompt run the command
md5sum <filename>. If the file downloaded correctly, the checksum number
for the file you downloaded should match the checksum number given above for
that file.
6. As root user, start Software Depot Install (SD Install) by typing:
# /usr/sbin/swinstall
a. To set install options, click the Options menu on the main SD Install window
and click Change Options. We recommend setting the following install options:
• Deselect Mount filesystems in /etc/fstab or /etc/checklist.
• Select Reinstall filesets even if same revision exists.
b. From the Actions menu click Change Source...
c. Select Local Directory as the Source Depot Type.
d. Enter the Source Host Name.
e. Enter the Source Depot Path.
If, for example, you downloaded the .depot file to the /tmp directory you
would enter: /tmp/ffox_A3509ar_pa.depot
If you downloaded the software into a directory other than /tmp, replace /tmp
with that directory name.
f. Click OK and SD Install will guide you through the installation.
7. After completing the installation, remove /tmp/<filename> file with the
following command:
# rm -f /tmp/<filename>.depot
8. Add the /opt/firefox/ directory to your $PATH.
