If it is already installed, the interface will open directly in your default web browser.

Procedure

  2. Navigate to the mounted directory containing the SPP files.
  3. Change to the directory where launch_sum.sh script is located.
  4. Run the script.

    • If SUM 20.0.0 (Beta) is already installed: The installation step is skipped and the interface opens directly in your default web browser.

    NOTE
    If your current shell environment does not support opening a GUI or web browser automatically, the interface will not open automatically. In this case, manually open a supported browser and navigate to the SUM 20.0.0 (Beta) interface.
