Installation of the NX Client and NX Node packages is a prerequisite for installing NX Server. To install NX Client and NX Node, please follow the instructions reported in the correspondent Installation Instructions available at:

The following NX Server packages are available:

• RPM, DEB and Compressed TAR for 32bit architecture
• RPM, DEB and Compressed TAR for 64bit architecture
• RPM, DEB and Compressed TAR for 32bit architecture for earlier Linux versions

Open an xterm terminal or similar, move to the directory where you have downloaded the package from the NoMachine Web site and install the package using the RPM utility:

# sudo rpm -ivh nxserver-X.Y.Z-W.i386.rpm

It is highly recommended you disable access to new NX sessions and terminate all running sessions before proceeding with the upgrade of the server.

To disable access to new NX sessions, open a xterm or similar and run the following command. Please note that this will not affect users' ability to login to the system by other means (f.e. ssh or telnet):

# sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --stop

You might want to issue a warning to all connected users to inform them of the operation. Run:

# sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --broadcast "Your message here"

Then, after the warning, terminate all the running sessions:

# sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --shutdown

Make a backup of your current NX installation and protect sensitive information that may be present inside the TAR archive by making the backup readable only by the 'root' user:

# sudo tar cvzf /root/nx-BACKUP.tar.gz /usr/NX
# sudo chmod 0600 /root/nx-BACKUP.tar.gz

Next move to the directory where you have downloaded the package from the NoMachine Web site and run:

# sudo rpm -Uvh nxserver-X.Y.Z-W.i386.rpm

Open an xterm terminal or similar and uninstall the package using the rpm utility:

# sudo rpm -e nxserver

Open an xterm terminal or similar, move to the directory where you have downloaded the package from the NoMachine Web site and install the package using the dpkg utility:

# sudo dpkg -i nxserver_X.Y.Z-W_i386.deb

It is highly recommended you disable access to new NX sessions and terminate all running sessions before proceeding with the upgrade of the server.

To disable access to new NX sessions, open an xterm or similar and run the following command. Please note that this will not affect users' ability to login to the system by other means (f.e. ssh or telnet):

# sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --stop

You might want to issue a warning to all connected users to inform them of the operation. Run:

# sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --broadcast "Your message here"

Then, after the warning, terminate all the running sessions:

# sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --shutdown

Make a backup of your current NX installation and protect sensitive information that may be present inside the TAR archive by making the backup readable only by the 'root' user:

# sudo tar cvzf /root/nx-BACKUP.tar.gz /usr/NX
# sudo chmod 0600 /root/nx-BACKUP.tar.gz

Next move to the directory where you have downloaded the package from the NoMachine Web site and run:

# sudo dpkg -i nxserver_X.Y.Z-W_i386.deb

Open an xterm terminal or similar and run:

# sudo dpkg -r nxserver

Open an xterm terminal or similar. You should have downloaded the tar.gz package to the /usr directory. If not, move the package to the /usr directory. For example:

# sudo mv nxserver-X.Y.Z-W.i386.tar.gz /usr

Then extract the archive:

# cd /usr
# sudo tar xvzf nxserver-X.Y.Z-W.i386.tar.gz

and run the setup script for nxserver:

# sudo /usr/NX/scripts/setup/nxserver –-install

It is highly recommended you disable access to new NX sessions and terminate all running sessions before proceeding with the upgrade of the server.

To disable access to new NX sessions, open an xterm or similar and run the following command. Please note that this will not affect users' ability to login to the system by other means (f.e. ssh or telnet):

# sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --stop

You might want to issue a warning to all connected users to inform them of the operation. Run:

# sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --broadcast "Your message here"

Then, after the warning, terminate all the running sessions:

# sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --shutdown

Make a backup of your current NX installation and protect sensitive information that may be present inside the TAR archive by making the backup readable only by the 'root' user:

# sudo tar cvzf /root/nx-BACKUP.tar.gz /usr/NX
# sudo chmod 0600 /root/nx-BACKUP.tar.gz

Next ensure that the downloaded package is in the /usr directory, extract the archive and run the setup script for nxserver:

# sudo tar xvzf nxserver-X.Y.Z-W.i386.tar.gz
# sudo /usr/NX/scripts/setup/nxserver –-update

This operation will remove both the NX Client, NX Node and NX Server installations. Open an xterm terminal or similar. Run the setup scripts for uninstalling the server and the node, and remove the installation directory:

# sudo /usr/NX/scripts/setup/nxserver –-uninstall 
# sudo /usr/NX/scripts/setup/nxnode –-uninstall 
# sudo rm -rf /usr/NX

Open a terminal and move to the directory where you have downloaded the package from the NoMachine Web site. Expand the package archive and install it using the pkgadd utility :

# sudo gunzip nxserver-X.Y.Z-W.sparc.gz
# sudo pkgadd -d nxserver-X.Y.Z-W.sparc

It is highly recommended you disable access to new NX sessions and terminate all running sessions before proceeding with the upgrade of the server.

To disable access to new NX sessions, open an xterm or similar and run the following command. Please note that this will not affect users' ability to login to the system by other means (f.e. ssh or telnet):

# sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --stop

You might want to to issue a warning to all connected users to inform them of the operation. Run:

# sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --broadcast "Your message here"

Then, after the warning, terminate all the running sessions:

# sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --shutdown

Make a backup of your current NX installation and protect sensitive information that may be present inside the TAR archive by making the backup readable only by the 'root' user:

# sudo gtar cvzf /root/nx-BACKUP.tar.gz /usr/NX
# sudo chmod 0600 /root/nx-BACKUP.tar.gz

The next step is to remove the previous installation, otherwise the installation will fail because only a single instance of the package is supported at one time on the same system:

# sudo pkgrm NXserver

Finally, expand the package archive and install it using the pkgadd utility:

# sudo gunzip nxserver-X.Y.Z-W.sparc.gz
# sudo pkgadd -d nxserver-X.Y.Z-W.sparc

Open a terminal and remove the NX server installation using the pkgrm utility:

# sudo pkgrm NXserver
