NovaStar Program Reference / Install / install-nscore.bash

Overview

The install-nscore.bash program is typically run in the following situations. In both cases, the nscore program should be run, which calls install-nscore.bash.

  1. Run nscore as the last step in the self-extracting novastar5install program, to provide an interactive menu and checklist to confirm that the installation was successful.
  2. Run nscore to troubleshoot problems in a NovaStar system.

The program is included in the NovaStar install files (/usr/share/novastar5/install/bin) but is not installed in the location where other NovaStar programs exist (/usr/bin).

Command Line Usage

The command line syntax is as follows (normally called from nscore but can be called directly).

sudo ./install-nscore.bash [parameters]

Optional values are shown in square brackets. Command line parameters are as follows.
