Installing DTP on Linux

Installation

Extract the DTP installation script from the tarball to your current directory. The following command is an example of a common method:
Linux
```
tar xvzf parasoft_dtp_[version]_linux.tar.gz
```
Run the DTP installation script and use the -i option to specify the installation directory location and the -d option to specify the application data directory. You must use full paths. For example:
Correct
```
./DTP.sh -i /home/<user>/dtp -d /home/<user>/dtp_data
```
Do not use relative paths to specify the directories:
Incorrect
```
./DTP.sh -i ../../dtp -d ~/var/dtp_data
```
You will be prompted to specify a location if you run the script without doing so.
If you want to install Parasoft DTP Enterprise Pack, choose [y] and press ENTER when prompted. Enterprise Pack includes Extension Designer, which enables you to derive sophisticated SDLC data analytics and implement granular programming policies. This will add a folder called "dtpservices" to the <DTP_INSTALL> directory. See DTP Enterprise Pack for additional information. A valid DTP Enterprise license is required to use Extension Designer functionality.

The following options can be added to DTP.sh to install DTP without user interaction:

--install-dtpservices - This option will install or upgrade Parasoft DTP Enterprise Pack.

--skip-dtpservices - This option will not install or upgrade Parasoft DTP Enterprise Pack.
