    $ sudo apt-get update

  4. Install Partek Flow
    $ sudo apt-get install partekflow
    When asked to continue, type the letter Y and press Enter.

  5. If additional configuration is needed, use the reconfigure command below. This can be run any time after Partek Flow is installed. For details regarding each setting, contact the Partek Licensing Department. In most cases, this step can be skipped.
    $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure partekflow

  6. (Optional) To manually configure Partek Flow or to set additional advanced options or environment variables, edit the following configuration file:
    /etc/partekflow.conf
    Note that all changes made by the reconfigure command in step 5 are also stored in this configuration file.

  7. Start the Partek Flow server
    $ sudo service partekflowd start
    A message should indicate that Partek Flow is now running:Starting Partek Flow server: OK
    Step 7 needs to be performed only once after installation. Partek Flow will start automatically whenever the server restarts.
