About the Installation Script

• When the script requires your input, the prompt includes a
default selection shown in brackets. You can accept the default
by pressing the Return key (or the esc key on PC keyboards).
• You can pause the script at any prompt by entering an
exclamation mark (!). This allows you to perform other
functions such as checking directory capacity. You can return to
the script by typing exit.

prompt by entering a question mark (?).

When the script detects binary files for the host operating system, it
provides the option of installing the binary files or loading the source
code and compiling the software at a later time. See

Source Code
If there are no binary files available, the script loads the source code and
uses an available compiler on the host system to build the image. If the
script cannot identify a compiler on your system, it ends the installation
session.
