2. Installation

2.1. Installing Connext TSS

The Connext TSS package is provided in a zip archive, rti_connext_tss_<version>.zip. The package is available for download from the RTI Customer Portal; if you do not have access, contact RTI Customer Support.

To install Connext TSS, unzip the archive with the following command:

unzip rti_connext_tss_<version>.zip

The Connext TSS libraries are shipped as source code. After installing, you must build the libraries before using Connext TSS with a FACE application; refer to Building Connext TSS for more information.
