F-Prot Antivirus tarballs now come with an installation script called install-f-prot.pl. It can be found in the directory created when extracting the tarballs. If you choose to use this script, you can skip the next step titled "Installing manually." To run the script, change to the f-prot/ directory and execute it:
gzip -dc fp-aix-VERSION.tar.gz | tar xvf -
cd f-prot/
./install-f-prot.pl
Follow the instructions printed to the screen.
Note: If upgrading from an older version of F-Prot Antivirus for AIX, run the following command (as root) before installing, to remove the older version:
rm -rf /usr/local/f-prot
The suggested installation procedure is as follows. Please substitute the word "VERSION" in the above instructions with this release's actual version number. Also note that your manual pages may be stored in a different path then /usr/share/man, and you might need to adjust it accordingly.
Run these commands (as root):
