2.3.3. 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 SIM Module. However, a number of platform-specific installation methods are also available.

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

Download the 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-EAP-SIM-x.yy-nn.tgz
```
Unpacking creates a directory Radius-EAP-SIM-x.yy-nn into the current directory:
```
cd Radius-EAP-SIM-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
```
Build a Radiator configuration file based on one of the following configuration files:
- goodies/eap_sim_wx.cfg
- goodies/eap_aka_wx.cfg
- goodies/eap_sim_map.cfg
- goodies/eap_aka_map.cfg
Configure Radiator HSS emulator file (goodies/wxmap.cfg), or connect to the HSS over SWx, Cx or Wx, or connect to the HLR over SIGTRAN.
Run Radiator with the configuration file developed in the step 6.
Set Radiator to start automatically when booting. For more information, see Radiator reference manual .

Upgrading

To upgrade Radiator SIM 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.
