BeServed for BeOS Systems
The BeOS verions of BeServed are provided in standard SoftwareValet-compatible packages. Simply double-click on the downloaded file to perform the installation. You may select whether you are installing the entire package, or client-only utilities. Selecting client-only should be used when you want to browse files on other computers, but not share any local files with others.
BeServed for Linux
The Linux file you will receive is called bs-linux-rh-i386.tar.gz. Once downloaded, create a folder in which you wish to have BeServed installed, as in:
    mkdir /usr/local/BeServed
Then, move the installation file into that folder and change the current working folder to that location.
    mv bs-linux-rh-i386.tar.gz /usr/local/BeServed
    cd /usr/local/BeServed
Now, uncompress the installation files using the Linux tar command. Since the file you download will be both archived and compress, you'll need to specify the -z and -x options, or run gunzip before running tar.
    tar -zxf bs-linux-rh-i386.tar.gz
Several files will be uncompressed. Run the install.sh file to perform the necessary installation procedures.
    ./install.sh
BeServed should now be installed as a default daemon on your Linux system, it should be running, and will be started each time the system is booted. You can now delete the original file you downloaded.
    rm -f bs-linux-rh-i386.tar.gz
BeServed for FreeBSD
The FreeBSD file you will receive is called bs-freebsd-i386.tar.gz. Once downloaded, create a folder in which you wish to have BeServed installed, as in:
    mkdir /usr/local/BeServed
Then, move the installation file into that folder and change the current working folder to that location.
    mv bs-freebsd-i386.tar.gz /usr/local/BeServed
    cd /usr/local/BeServed
Now, uncompress the installation files using the FreeBSD tar command. Since the file you download will be both archived and compressed, you'll need to specify the -z and -x options, or run gunzip before running tar.
    tar -zxf bs-freebsd-i386.tar.gz
Several files will be uncompressed. Run the install.sh file to perform the necessary installation procedures.
    ./install.sh
BeServed should now be installed as a default daemon on your FreeBSD system, it should be running, and will be started each time the system is booted. You can now delete the original file you downloaded.
    rm -f bs-freebsd-i386.tar.gz
BeServed for Solaris
The Solaris file you will receive is called bs-solaris-i386.tar.gz. Once downloaded, create a folder in which you wish to have BeServed installed, as in:
    mkdir /usr/local/BeServed
Then, move the installation file into that folder and change the current working folder to that location.
    mv bs-solaris-i386.tar.gz /usr/local/BeServed
    cd /usr/local/BeServed
Now, uncompress the installation files using the gunzip command.
    gunzip bs-solaris-i386.tar.gz
You should now have a file without the .gz extension, ending in .tar. You can use the Solaris tar command to expand this archive. This is done using the -x tar option.
    tar -xf bs-solaris-i386.tar
Several files will be uncompressed. Run the install.sh file to perform the necessary installation procedures.
    ./install.sh
BeServed should now be installed as a default daemon on your Solaris system, it should be running, and will be started each time the system is booted. You can now delete the tar file that still remains.
    rm -f bs-solaris-i386.tar
BeServed for Windows
The compressed file you will receive is called bs-win32-nt-i386.zip. Once downloaded, you will need to uncompress it into a temporary folder with WinZip or another PKZIP-compatible extraction utility. From the temporary folder, simply run setup.exe to perform the installation. The server can be started from the Start menu. The File Sharing preferences application is also available from the Start menu and allows you to specify the folders that will be shared with other users without manually editing the settings file. Once installed, you do not need to retain the original compressed file you downloaded.
