• Log into the system where you are going to install TrapX as the root user or sudo to the root user
• Copy the install media to the system where you are going to install TrapX and un-compress/un-tar the install media file
• From the directory where you un-compress/un-tar the install media file, cd to the sdmc/linux directory
• Enter the following command

 ./install.bin -i Silent -DTRAPX_ENABLE=true
