Linux

    chmod +x ModelCenterRemoteExecution_vYY.X_LINUX64.sh

    where YY.X is the version number.

    Note: Answering with "n" will abort the installation.

  5. Scroll through the license agreement using the Return or D key.

  7. The installer will extract and install MCRE to the MCRE directory, which will be placed in the directory the installer was run from.

All of the scripts (mcre.sh, quickwrap.sh, etc.) referenced by the installer will be in the MCRE installation directory.
