  3. Fetch the installer from the VSS Users Storage. Replace $USER with your VSS Username.

    1. Ubuntu:

      scp $USER@vskey-stor.eis.utoronto.ca:ut-vss-lib/networker/nix/nw191005_linux_x86_64/lgtoclnt_19.10.0.5_amd64.deb /tmp/

    2. Red Hat based:

      scp $USER@vskey-stor.eis.utoronto.ca:ut-vss-lib/networker/nix/nw191005_linux_x86_64/lgtoclnt-19.10.0.5-1.x86_64.rpm /tmp/

  4. Alternatively, fetch the installer from the UTORrecover SharePoint site: https://utoronto.sharepoint.com/sites/its-eis-UTORrecover

  5. Proceed to install the package:

    1. Ubuntu:

      sudo dpkg -i /tmp/lgtoclnt_19.10.0.5_amd64.deb

      yum localinstall --nogpgcheck  /tmp/lgtoclnt-19.10.0.5-1.x86_64.rpm 
dnf install ./lgtoclnt-19.10.0.5-1.x86_64.rpm

  6. Check if lgto package has been installed successfully:

    1. Ubuntu:

      pkg -l | grep lgto

    2. Red Hat based:

      # Ubuntu/debian based
pkg -l | grep lgto

# Red Hat based
rpm -qa | grep lgto

You should get a smilier output: 

  # debian based
