Before installing TERM for UNIX, you must remove any older files that you have installed. First, back up your .termsys file and all .con and .cmd files. To remove TERM, refer to section 1.2 of the Operations Manual, "Uninstall TERM for UNIX." You will also need your serial number and activation key to install the registered version of TERM.

2. Copy the install file to a temporary directory.
1. Installing from a .tar.gz file
   1. Unzip the download file. Change the filename as appropriate:
      gunzip term_6.28.1754_SCO.tar.gz
   2. Uncompress the resulting .tar file:
      tar xvf term_6.28.1754_SCO.tar
