# Installation example for AIX

This is an example installation of PingID SSH for AIX. Your installation might vary depending on your particular configuration.

## Steps

1. Download `yum.sh` from the [AIX Toolbox](https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/aix-toolbox-open-source-software-downloads-alpha).

   If you experience difficulty downloading `yum.sh` directly to the server, first download it to the local machine, and then copy it to the server using `scp`.

2. From a terminal session, execute the following commands as root:

   ```
   source yum.sh
   yum update
   yum install unzip automake libtool gcc curl-devel
   ```

3. Download and extract the PingID package.

4. Go to the PingID installation directory: `cd pingid-<version>`

5. Set the environment variables in preparation for the build process:

   ```
   export M4=/opt/freeware/bin/m4
   env LIBTOOLIZE=glibtoolize
   ```

6. From the terminal session, execute the following commands:

   ```
   autoreconf --install jansson/jansson-2.13.1
   autoreconf --install libjwt/libjwt-1.12.0
   autoreconf --install
    ./configure --with-pam --prefix=/usr
    make
    make install #as root
   ```

7. Download the properties file. See [Integrate PingID with SSH](pid_integration_with_ssh_intro.html).

8. Copy the properties file to `/usr/etc/pingid/pingid.properties`.

   ### Example:

   ```
   sudo cp pingid.properties /usr/etc/pingid/pingid.properties
   ```

   | - | ---------------------------------------------------- |
   |   | Do not make any changes to the contents of the file. |
