The tgz-format is suitable if your system does not support RPM-packages or if you want to install it in a non-standard location (e.g. in your home-directory in case that you don't have root-access).

The tgz-file has to be installed manually as follows. There are different instructions for installing in the standard location or ina non-standard location

Installing the tgz-package in the standard location /opt/DemoRecorder

As root, unpack the tgz-file in the directory /opt. This will create a directory /opt/DemoRecorder which contains the software.

This is done as follows on the commandline

su
tar xvzf  -C /opt
Finally, if you have licensefile(s), please copy it/them to the directory "/opt/DemoRecorder/licenses".

Installing the tgz-package at another location

You do not need to be root if you have sufficient access rights in the location where you want to install it.

Unpack the tgz-file in the directory where you want to install DemoRecorder:

tar xvzf  -C your_directory
(Please replace your_directory with the name of the directory where you want to install it.)

This will create a subdirectory called "DemoRecorder" which contains the installation.

Then change to the directory "your_directory/DemoRecorder/bin" and run the script "demorec-set-install-dir":

cd your_directory/DemoRecorder/bin
./demorec-set-install-dir

Finally, if you have licensefile(s), please copy it/them to the directory "your_directory/DemoRecorder/licenses".

Training of users is expensive ...
        if you do it manually
again and again.

You can save a whole lot of money ...
... if you do it once and record it
so your users can watch it again and again
--> without you lifting a finger
--> and without spending any more money.
