The server component will be installed into the home directory of the user ''procksi''. Therefore, make sure that it is on a separate partition / hard disk with much space. In the best case, this will be a RAID system.

Create a softlink from ''RELEASE'' to a generic directory ''/home/procksi/latest''. This will be accessed by the web server:

In case that you want to bring the test version online, just delete the softlinks and repeat the previous steps for the new release. Please make sure that always both softlinks exist!

Check that all links in ''/home/procksi/latest/bin'' point to the correct files of the operating system.
