Where \<file> is the installer you downloaded in step 2.

After the Canvus client has started, log entries record client activity. For details about where to find the log files, see client-log-file

Activate your license

You can now proceed to activate your Canvus client license. See client-licensing for details.

Configure Canvus Connect (optional)

If you are using Canvus Connect, you can specify the Canvus Connect servers the client can connect to. See client-configure-canvus-connect.

Configure network proxy (optional)

Canvus client will uses the http_proxy and https_proxy environment variables to determine if a network proxy should be used. If a network proxy is required, you can configure it by adding the environment variables to /etc/environment file.

Tip

For example, if your proxy address is proxy.example.com:1080 you would add the following lines to /etc/environment:

http_proxy=http://proxy.example.com:1080
https_proxy=https://proxy.example.com:1080

You need to re-login or restart your computer for the changes to have an effect.

Further customization (optional)

You can further customize the Canvus client by modifying its client-configuration.
