These variables specify the target directories where the installer will copy files and what the installer should do if the installation process would overwrite existing Tripwire software files. Step 2 Now we must run the installation script to install Tripwire binaries and related files in our system according to whether you are using default or custom configuration values. · To run the installation script and install Tripwire, use the following command: [root@deep tmp]# ./install.sh NOTE: The “install.sh” file is the installation script, which you run to begin installation of Tripwire.
