2.4. Installing and upgrading on Linux: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and openSUSE Leap

These packages have been tested on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP3 and openSUSE Leap 15.6.

To install Radiator:

Download the distribution package for your operating system from Radiator downloads
Install the package. Use package that ends with .suse.noarch.rpm:
```
sudo zypper install ./radiator-4.xx-nn.suse.noarch.rpm
```
Start Radiator and set it to start automatically after you reboot your Linux server.
```
sudo systemctl start radiator
sudo systemctl enable radiator
```
Test authentication. You should see OK printed to the screen 3 times. In case of a problem, check the Radiator process log, by default /var/log/radiator/radiator.log, for any errors during Radiator start.
```
/opt/radiator/radiator/radpwtst
```
Edit /etc/radiator/radiator.conf to suit your site and needs. Remember to restart Radiator after configuration change with systemctl restart radiator. This reference manual describes the options and parameters.

The package creates the following system user, system group and an empty home directory for Radiator service:

radiator
radiator
/var/lib/radiator

By default, it creates the following directories for configuration, logs, Radiator itself, its utilities and other files. See /opt/radiator/radiator/goodies/ for configuration samples:

/etc/radiator/
/var/log/radiator/
/opt/radiator/
/usr/share/doc/packages/radiator

Default log rotate configuration is installed as

/etc/logrotate.d/radiator

You can find documentation, additional dictionaries, and the goodies collection in /opt/radiator/radiator/ directory.

Upgrading from an RPM

Upgrades between SUSE/openSUSE packages do not require any special commands. Use zypper install or any other commands that you typically use to upgrade packages. Note: remember to restart radiator after each upgrade.
