INSTANT SET UP
Fast, Simple & Effortless
Install
Please note that NMIS must be installed on the your machine before opReports or most other Opmantek Modules. Please ensure you have installed NMIS before installing opReports. NMIS is the underlying software required to run any of Opmantek’s individual modules, and can be installed on Linux.
If you do not have a machine currently running Linux, you can download and install the Opmantek Virtual Machine, which includes NMIS and all Opmantek software modules.
The following installation guide should be sufficient for most users’ needs. Advanced instructions and troubleshooting are available on the opReports Wiki.
Download the opReports installer
If you haven’t already, hit the download button above and download the opReports Installer.
The Installer comes as a .run file.
Run the Installer in Linux Terminal
Open the Linux Terminal.
Start a Terminal instance as the root user through the following command, entering your password when prompted:
sudo -iIf you have not been granted access to the root user, contact your system administrator.
Once your terminal session is run by the root user, run the shell command to begin the installation process
sh /…/opReports-<version number>.run
Press Y or Return/Enter when the installer prompts you.
Several times throughout the installation process you will be prompted to approve the various components of the opReports Module as they are installed on your machine. Please take note of any relevant information as you approve each step.
When the installation is complete, the following will print on the Terminal:
