1. Extract the DTP installation script from the tarball to your current directory. The following command is an example of a common method: 

   Code Block
   language text title Linux
   tar xvzf parasoft_dtp_[version]_linux.tar.gz

2. 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:

   Code Block
   language bash title Correct
   ./DTP.sh -i /home/<user>/dtp -d /home/<user>/dtp_data

   Do not use relative paths to specify the directories:

   Code Block
   language bash title 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.

Additional Installation Notes

For Windows installations, we recommend using a third-party zip compression utility, such as WinZip, WinRar, or 7Zip to extract the distribution files for installation. Microsoft Windows' built-in Uncompress utility (from Windows Explorer) has many issues—for example, directory and file name size limitations and performance issues. If you extract the DTP installer using Windows Explorer, you may get a "Path too long" error message. The same error may also result if you open the distribution with 7Zip and drag the DTP folder from the 7Zip UI to the desktop.
