The installation procedure is highly dependent on the Linux distribution you are using and it is not possible to describe that exhaustively in this manual. Therefore, you may need to get a deep knowledge of the mechanisms of installing the software of the selected Linux distribution in its documentation. In the event that the user does not have such knowledge, skills and preferences for a Linux distribution, it is advisable to choose it according to the availability of OpenSCADA packages and even a packages repository, which provides the simplest and most trouble free installation.
