Manual Install

Eric Milam

The installer is not necessary, it just makes getting everything setup and working a bit easier. We wanted to provide a quick walkthrough of doing a "manual" install.

  • Unarchive the smbexec folder
  • move the smbexec folder to where you would like it to live on your desktop. (ex: mv ~/Desktop/smbexec /opt/smbexec/)
  • Ensure all necessary files are executable (ex: chmod 755 smbexec.sh and chmod 755 smbexec/progs/*)
  • Create a symbolic link in /usr/bin (ex:cd /usr/bin && ln -s /path/to/smbexec/smbexec.sh smbexec)

As long as you have all the prereqs installed you should now good to go.

Happy hunting!
