4.4. Installation and Uninstallation Procedure for Linux
Description of installation procedure
The UI software setup package under Linux (Ubuntu, openSUSE, Fedora,…)
system contains the driver of USB data card and offers different driver source
codes according to different Linux kernel versions. They are put under the setup
path: /usr/local/bin/ztemtApp/zteusbserial, and saved in different sub-folders.
The setup package will automatically compile the corresponding driver version and
load the driver (insmod ztemt.ko) during the installation.
Therefore, you need to install gcc compiler and kernel development package
(kernel-devel) in advance.
Ubuntu9.04 system is an exception because the USB driver module already exists in
the system kernel. The setup package will omit the step of compiling the driver after
confirming that the system version is Ubuntu9.04; instead, it would modify the system
pilot configuration (menu.lst) in order to support different ZTE USB data cards.
