2.2.3. Installing and upgrading with source code package

Also known as the tar or tgz package, this is the general and widely portable procedure for installing Radiator Service Provider Module. However, a number of platform-specific installation methods are also available.

The Radiator Service Provider Module source code is supplied as a gzipped, tarred package. The standard distribution file name is Radius-Carrier-x.yy-nn.tgz, where "x.yy-nn" is the revision number.

Download the Radiator Carrier source code package from Radiator downloads and save it to somewhere suitable, such as /usr/local/src/.
Unpack the source code package as follows:
```
tar xvf Radius-Carrier-x.yy-nn.tgz
```
Unpacking creates a directory Radius-Carrier-x.yy-nn into the current directory:
```
cd Radius-Carrier-x.yy-nn
```
Prepare the distribution for installation:
```
perl Makefile.PL
```
Run the installation. You may need the root access rights for running this command:
```
make install
```
Set Radiator to start automatically when booting. For more information, see Radiator reference manual .

Upgrading

To upgrade Radiator Service Provider Module with .tgz package, repeat the installation using the new distribution package file. The files in the new distribution will overwrite any files in the old distribution.
