Hello Shaik,

The only supported Linux platform is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0. You can download a tar.gz or rpm of the Linux client from the Web Client by clicking on the Download client link in the top right of the screen.
The rpm file will add a launcher to the /usr/bin folder. (dcexpert)

Regards

John T

To install or upgrade an RPM file or package you need to use rpm command. RPM is a Package Manager (originally called Red Hat Package Manager).

To install an .rpm file you need to use following command ("package" will be the actual name of the rpm)

(you must be a root user, ie: login as a root user):# rpm -ivh dcexpert-7.3.1-114.i386.rpm

To upgrade an rpm package you need to use rpm command

as follows:# rpm -Uvh dcexpert-7.3.1-114.i386.rpm

If the program is in a directory that is in your PATH variable then just type it's name ie: dcexpert. To launch a program that is not in your PATH use the full path - ie: # /path/to/program (example:# /usr/bin dcexpert ) or cd to the directory and then run the start command # ./dcexpert

Sorry your having issues Try this when in the directory of the StructureWare DCE launcher. At the command # ./dataCenterExpert If that doesn't get you going, I will have to defer to the StructureWare folks as I am not a linux guru (know just enough to get around with it)

Is there any hope of getting it to run on a Macintosh?

Not natively. You can install a secondary Windows or Redhat operating system via Parallels or Bootcamp or VMware Fusion and then install the windows or redhat client depending upon which secondary operating system you chose to install
