Download¶
GroupServer is distributed as a compressed tar-file. To download the latest version of GroupServer
- Visit <http://groupserver.org/downloads> and click Download.
- Extract GroupServer from the tar-file into a directory such as /opt, /home or /usr/local.
When the tar-file is extracted a new directory will be made. This directory contains the configuration files for GroupServer. In addition, the installation process will download and install some dependencies into the directory (see GroupServer installation). GroupServer will be run from the same directory.
Permissions: | You may need to be the superuser (root) to extract the archive. If you do then you must change the ownership of the new GroupServer directory and all of its contents to a normal user. GroupServer can only be run by users with normal privileges. |
