    2. Create a cfadmin group with a suitable name using the groupadd command.
      You must define this group before running the install script.
  2. On the command line, navigate to the temporary directory where the installation package is located.
  3. Use the tar command to extract the installation files.
    tar -xvf 
    				  mftps_tar_file_name

    For example, 

    tar -xvf TIB_mftps-unix&zlinux_v.v.v_linux.tar

      • Type Y or y if you want the configuration files to be used by all machines in the shared environment.

    9. In the final installation message:
      • Review the location of the configuration file (by default $CFROOT/config). You can use the configuration file to configure server settings.
      • Review the three environment variables and update them if required.
