Note: to install MCS as a regular user (not a super user) use sh mcs_configure.sh nosu. However, we recommend installing as a super user.

Working through the Install Script

The install script will prompt the user with some questions. These are detailed below.

Installation directory

Hit enter to accept the default directory or specify a new directory, for example /home/mcsinstall

Note: if an installation of MCS already exists in the chosen directory a prompt will appear to confirm the overwrite.

Run Automatically

To ensure MCS starts on every reboot answer Y to this question.

Browse to the Main Menu

The installation will end with an IP:Port combination where the MCS main menu will be running. An alternate IP:Port can be chosen in the MCS General Config.
