    $ sudo wget -P /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ http://packages.partek.com/debian/partek-flow.list
    *Steps 1 and 2 only need to be performed once prior to the first installation. Re-installation and updates do not require this step.

    $ 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.

Partek Flow supports multiple users, each of which can either be classified as administrator or regular user, based on access privileges. The first account to be created is always an administrator account. Additional users may be added after installation. To set up the first (administrator) account, specify a username, password, and email address (Figure 3), then click Next.

Select a directory folder to store the library files that will be downloaded or generated by Partek Flow (Figure 4).  All Partek Flow users share library files and the size of the library folder can grow significantly. We recommend at least 100GB of free space should be allocated for library files.  The free space in the selected library file directory is shown.  Click Next to proceed.  You can change this directory after installation by changing system preferences.  For more information, see Library file management.
