Getting Started with Spirent TestCenter | 21
Installation Option 1: Using the DVD
Installers for the Spirent TestCenter applications and a tarball for documentation are
packaged in separate files (OS specific) on the DVD.
Follow the installation instructions appropriate for your workstation:
• “To Copy Files using a Web Browser” on page 21
• “To Copy Files using the Command Line” on page 22.
To Copy Files using a Web Browser
Follow these instructions if your workstation has a web browser installed.
To install Spirent TestCenter Automation:
1 Load the installation DVD.
2 Select the Spirent TestCenter link appropriate for your operating system.
This action will result in one of two displays:
• An index page that includes links to the automation and documentation installers.
• A folder view of the two shell-based installers and the tarball for documentation
3 Use the standard procedure (for your workstation) to copy the installer appropriate for
your system and the documentation tarball to your workstation.
4 Run the shell-based installer. For example, use the following for 64-bit OS:
./install_Spirent_TestCenter_Auto_Linux64_[x.xx].sh
5 Use tar to extract the documentation from the tarball.
For example, use the following command for a Linux file:
tar -xzvf Spirent_TestCenter_Docs_Linux_Unix[x.xx].tar.gz
6 Set up Tcl [x.x.xx], or other automation environment, for use with Spirent TestCenter.
Setup instructions for each environment are in readme format, located in the
<Spirent_Install_Dir>/API folder with sub-directories matching the language name.
For example:
/home/user/Spirent_TestCenter_[x.xx]/Spirent_TestCenter_Application_Linux/API/
