This article is intended to guide the user through the steps required to create an automatic install script for the Netop Host on a Linux device.
Users can create the following Linux install script to automatically install the Netop Host on a Linux device.
To create the install script, proceed as follows:
1. Manually install the Host on a Linux device. Refer to the following link to download the application. For more information on how to install the Host on a Linux device, refer to the Quick Install Guide for Linux.
