To install from the self-extracting installer using a graphical environment refer to the previous section on the self-extracting installer for Windows, the installation method is the same.

To install from the tar.gz run the command

tar -zxvf HammerDB-4.8.tar.gz 

This will extract HammerDB into a directory named HammerDB-4.7.

To start HammerDB change to the HammerDB directory and run locally as follows.

./hammerdb

To uninstall HammerDB on Linux run the uninstall executable for the self-extracting installer or remove the directory for the tar.gz install. You can also remove the .db and .DB persistent configuration database files that are by default stored in the /tmp directory.
