# UNIX Installation

To install the SDK, use one of the following procedures.

To install the SDK from the graphical interface

- Run the installation program and follow the on-screen instructions.

To install the SDK from the console

1. Run the installation program from the console as follows:

       ./KeyViewExportSDK_VersionNumber_Platform.exe --mode text

   where:

   `VersionNumber` | is the product version.
   `Platform` | is the name of the platform.

2. Read the welcome message and instructions and press `Enter`.

   The first page of the license agreement is displayed.

3. Read the license information, pressing `Enter` to continue through the text. After you finish reading the text, and if you accept the agreement, type `Y` and press `Enter`.

   You are asked to choose an installation folder.

4. Type an absolute path or press `Enter` to accept the default location.

   You are asked for license information.

5. At the Company Name prompt, type the company name that was provided when you purchased KeyView, and then press `Enter`. The company name is case sensitive.

6. At the License Key prompt, type the license key that was provided when you purchased KeyView, and then press `Enter`. The license key is a string that contains 31 characters.

   NOTE: The installation program generates the file `install\OS\bin\kv.lic` (where `install` is your chosen installation folder and `OS` is the name of the operating system platform). The license information is validated when the KeyView API is used. If you do not enter a license key at this step, or if you enter invalid information, the KeyView SDK is installed but the API does not function. When you obtain a valid license key, you can either re-install the KeyView SDK, or manually update the license key file (`kv.lic`) with the new information. For more information, see License Information.

   The Pre-Installation summary is displayed.

7. If you are satisfied with the information displayed in the summary, press `Enter`.

   The SDK is installed.
