File Name	File Description

Installation

The installation is the uncompression of the downloaded package where you want to install the package.

$ tar zxf kpn-vX.X.X-linux-amd64.tar.gz

Or,

$ tar zxf kpn-baobab-vX.X.X-linux-amd64.tar.gz

Note: it is recommended that the uncompressed directory kpn-linux-amd64/bin path should be added to the environment variable $PATH to run the kpn and kpnd globally. As an example,

$ export PATH=$PATH:~/downloaded/path/kpn-linux-amd64/bin

The other sections assume that the path is added to the variable.
