2. Installing the FreeNAC software

This page discusses the different ways to obtain and unpack (if it applies) the FreeNAC software. If you want to install/configure the software, please see http://freenac.net/en/installguide/server

Install the software from a 'tarball'

Download the latest tarball from the downloads section to the /opt/ directory. If such a directory doesn't exist, create it. To uncompress this file, in the command line type the following:

cd /opt
tar xvzf freenac-X.Y.rcZ.tar.gz

This should create a directory and a symbolic link pointing to this directory. The directory contains all software required to perform a successful installation/configuration.

Install the software from Subversion

Theck FreeNAC out directly from Subversion, see the instructions from the download page. See also the SVN tips on configuring ~/.subversion/servers if you are behind a proxying firewall. For example:

mkdir /opt/nac
svn co https://opennac.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/opennac/branches/3.0 /opt/nac

Installing the Ubuntu/Debian package

See the Linux Installation notes: Ubuntu section.
