Installation​

To install Fusion SMB, extract the contents of the archive and place them in the relevant system directories:

note

In this example, the files are placed in the following directories:

  • The main Fusion SMB executable is placed in /usr/sbin
  • The utilities are placed in /usr/bin

These paths are typical for Linux server setups and are included in most users' $PATH environment variable. However, you can adjust the installation directories to suit your environment.

  1. Extract the archive:

    tar -xzf tuxera-smb-3024.3.22.1-r1-x86_64-jammy-user-evaluation-cluster.tgz

  2. Navigate to the extracted directory:

    cd tuxera-smb-3024.3.22.1-r1-x86_64-jammy-user-evaluation-cluster

  3. Copy the Tuxera Fusion SMB binary to /usr/sbin, or a location of your choice:

    sudo cp -af smb/bin/tsmb-server /usr/sbin/tsmb-server

  4. Copy the utilities to /usr/bin, or a location of your choice:

    sudo cp -af smb/tools/* /usr/bin/
