# Installing on Linux

## **Linux installation procedure**

The Linux installer is a self-unpacking binary. You may need to set file permissions to executable before running it:

```
chmod +x ./lmadmin-x64_lsb-11_16_0_0.bin
```

lmadmin or lmgrd require LSB support installed:

```
[Redhat/Fedora]
yum install redhat-lsb-core
[Ubuntu]
apt-get install lsb-core
[Debian]
ln -s /usr/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3
```

**If you decided to use 'lmgrd' instead of 'lmadmin'**, in addition you will have to:

```
sudo mkdir /usr/tmp
sudo chmod 777 /usr/tmp
```

## **Starting as a service**

The Linux installer does not configure the server to start automatically. If your distribution uses SysV style init, check the \[install\_dir]/examples/service/lmadmin script. For a systemd service script example, check \[install\_dir]/examples/systemd/

If you used 'lmgrd' instead of 'lmadmin' (and thus don't have the examples/ directory), you can find an example SysV-style script [here](https://github.com/HexRaysSA/docs/blob/IDA-8.4/admin-guide/legacy-license-server-floating-licenses/assets/example_lmadmin_as_a_service.txt) and systemd-style script [here](https://github.com/HexRaysSA/docs/blob/IDA-8.4/admin-guide/legacy-license-server-floating-licenses/assets/lmgrd.service.txt).

## **Misc.**
